Over the summer I read the book Rock Hard Apps. You can look it up on amazon if you don't know what i'm talking about. Anyways, it was basically all about the admissions process and how to make your application look the best it can look. The book used 3 high school students and revamped all their applications. It was pretty interesting and was wondering what eveyrone else thought about the ideas given in this book. The part that really confused me was when they do the "brag sheet." On the common app there is a place for you to put your ec's and THEN attach a sheet of extras. This book had you completely ignoring the space originally given to you and they had students just doing a resume basically. Is this ideal advice or what? Would colleges care if you didnt use the room on the common app and instead just made your own sheet Hi! Over the summer I read the book Rock Hard Apps.
