⭐ The Biggest Admissions Myths Students Still Believe

There’s a lot of misinformation out there about college admissions, and it can make the process feel confusing. Let’s clear some things up.

Myth 1: You need a perfect GPA to get into college.

Colleges review your story, context, and growth—not just a number.

Myth 2: More clubs automatically make you a stronger applicant.

Depth matters more than doing everything. Show commitment, leadership, passion.

Myth 3: You must know your major before you apply.

Most students change their major at least once.

Myth 4: Colleges don’t read every essay.

They absolutely do—especially competitive schools.

Myth 5: “Name-brand” schools are always the best choice.

The right school is one that supports you academically, financially, and personally.

K&E Reminder: You don’t need to be perfect—you just need to be prepared.
