– all-round high academic performance with something extra/unique that sets
you apart from others (exemplify your passion & achievements eg. high rank
in professional tennis)

something”, le^ers of recommendaFon & grades (transcript, SAT, IB, etc.)

weaknesses in one area can be outweighed by advantages in another

Admissions (#1 challenge)
33. • Be authen(c – be yourself when wriFng your applicaFons.
• Don’t bullshit. Don’t lie. It’s very easy to see & it will filter you out.
• The whole applicaFon pack when applying is similar across schools,
but each degree/department differs & seeks different things
• Early on find a professor who can be your mentor / guide you &
who cares (ie. has studied/done extensive research in the United
States, understands UK/US higher educaFon, is supporFve)
– if you’re talented & really can’t find one, reach out to alumni/students/
organizaFons (eg. Kings FoundaFon) to help

– Provide info on the mean/median grades in your class in a ‘grade transcript
annex’ to your own transcript
• Licea: pedagog / wychowawca / administracja powinni sporządzić lub mieć takie dane
• Uczelnia: administracja uczelni lub twój wydział powinni sporządzić lub mieć takie dane
– Grades differ school-to-school, this helps inform Admissions about where you
stand relaFve to your peers
• University / school ranking
– Provide addi(onal info in your applica(on on the ranking of your university /
school in Poland + any explanatory addi(onal notes about your uni / school
