A new report released by Making Caring Common, a project by the Harvard Graduate School of Education, takes a major step in trying to change the college admissions process to make it more humane, less super-human.
Achievements are not limited to academic achievements only. It can be redefined in broader terms such as social achievements. Examples of social achievements are working part-time to help support their families or helping to run the household.
These out-of-classroom activities also contribute to develop students’ maturity and personal growth.
To make the admission system more humane, Harvard encourages colleges to communicate the high value they place on family contributions that students make as well as give opportunities for applicants to explain their role.
Harvard admissions committees are looking for students who are authentic and honest about their interests and accomplishments.
Therefore, students are encouraged to find the right college fit by remaining true to themselves, keeping an open mind about their options and examining a broad range of universities/institutions.
College admissions officers can sense when an application is not authentic. Hence teenagers (students) should present themselves in their best light, while still staying true to who they really are.
Prioritizing academic excellence alone is not enough to help raise children who are caring, responsible to their communities, and committed to justice.
Both ethical engagement and intellectual engagement are highly important and to more fairly capture the strengths of students across race, class and culture.
Assignments, classes and tests can cause a huge amount of stress among students. Researches have proven that students who can manage their stress well are more likely to excel.
Eating healthy food and have a good time management also help to reduce stress level.
Furthermore, rather than being too focused on academic excellence, students should also make time for hobbies and interests. By doing so students can have a balanced life, between studying and spending time with friends and family.
