Your college application might not be finished when you hit “Submit.”

Several selective colleges give applicants the opportunity to add a video introduction to their application, including Brown, WashU, and Bowdoin.

These videos give admissions officers a sense of your personality and voice in just 60-90 seconds.

4. Double-check each school’s requirements and deadlines

Working on revising your Common App personal statement?

Highlight every sentence, detail, or moment that could only have been written by you. These can include specific observations, experiences, humor, quirks, and reflections that no other applicant could claim.

Then, start restructuring from there.

Your strongest essay is often already hiding in your draft!

Recent research indicates that relying on AI to write makes student essays 70–78% more similar. Why does that matter for college applications?

Your personal statement and supplemental essays can easily start to sound like everyone else’s, especially at the level of sentence structure and syntax.

Ivy Admit’s founder, Kristen, holds a PhD in English and is specifically trained to recognize these patterns and help students develop writing that stands out for its distinctive voice.

Starting this fall, Connecticut College is offering Early Action (EA) for the first time!

This is a great option for students who are looking for a strong liberal arts experience but also want the opportunity to hear back from a college earlier in the admissions cycle—without the binding commitment of Early Decision.

As you finalize your college list, it’s worth taking another look at schools that have introduced new application plans this year.
