(communicator, team player and leader) and emphasize those when talking about them. to prepare for interviews, i thought of stories that exemplified those qualities. i also tried to weave them into my common app and supplemental essays. when i met with my teachers to discuss my recommendations, the information i gave them also emphasized those qualities. even though my application may not have seemed cohesive at first, the sum all of the parts gave a clear picture of me as a person.&#8221;<\/div>\n<h2>yale admissions: the takeaway<\/h2>\n<p>thanks for reading this far! <\/p>\n<p>if

get those high scores? lucky for you, that&#8217;s our area of expertise:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>first, decide whether you\u2019re taking the sat or act (we have a <a href=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/sat-or-act-quiz\/\">handy quiz<\/a> that can help you with this task)<\/li>\n<li>set a goal score your <a

prep. (obviously i recommend checking out the <a
