Subject: Concerns About Misleading School Profile

I have some concerns regarding the high school profile page. It seems the principal has misrepresented the Advanced Placement classes offered as well as the “Science Symposium” program. I participated in a State Science Symposium, but the way the school profile is presented suggests that my experience is in line with a school-specific program, which feels misleading and could negatively impact my college applications. I inquired about who is responsible for the profile, and I was informed that it was the principal. Do colleges actually take the school profile into account? I’m worried this could affect my credentials.

  1. It sounds really frustrating to feel like your achievements might be misrepresented, especially when you’re working hard on your college applications. School profiles are indeed something that colleges look at as they assess candidates. They provide context about the school’s offerings, academic rigor, and overall environment. If the information is misleading, it could affect how colleges perceive your application.

    It may be a good idea to address this issue directly with your counselor or administration. They might be able to correct the profile or provide you with guidance on how to explain your participation in the state science symposium in your application. Honesty is crucial in your application process, so focusing on your genuine achievements is the best route. Colleges value authenticity, so be sure to showcase your true experiences and contributions in your personal statement and any interviews. Good luck!
