I recently heard an EC junior say college is going to “slap you in the face before you know it,” and I think she’s right! As you look ahead, here are some things to think about. Seniors, many of you are through the college application process. Congratulations! It’s that time when you will be making decisions that affect the next sever- Ms. Lindsay Bentz, Center al years of your life, and it’s often scary and thrilling at the same time. Grove Early College As you work your way through scholarship applications, these tips are Guidance Counselor relevant to you as well. US News & World Report recently published an article called “Avoid These Big College Application Mistakes.” Some of them are no- brainers, such as spelling errors and waiting until the last minute be- fore a deadline only to encounter technical problems, but some may come as a surprise. For example, the article says about admissions (or scholarship) essays, “Please, please don't give us the personal state- ment that opens with a couple of minutes left in the game and ends with how winning isn't everything or how you learned the value of teamwork! Or the classic service trip essay that's about how everyone can make a difference. Or how if everyone just rolled up their sleeves and worked together we could solve everything” This may be exactly what some of you were planning to submit, but colleges and scholar- ship committees see so many of these, the content no longer stands out as original. Try to think of a unique life experience you’ve had that no one else would be able to write about. If you are going to write about teamwork, what makes your story different? What’s going to make an admissions rep read it and remember it years later? Another turnoff for colleges? “Asking for information easily found…If you're asking us about test scores, it sounds like you haven't done your research or like you're asking a question just to ask a question, maybe because your parents told you to.” Admissions counselors would much rather you “ask for information you won't be able to find out anywhere Great Resources: else: the personality of the campus, the counselor's favorite things about the school.” Try to show true interest in the school, rather than Scholarships.com sounding like a recording asking questions only because you think that’s what the schools want you to do. A phenomenon colleges have My College been experiencing over the last few years is parents taking an increas- Options ingly active role in their child’s admissions process. According to an article published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on January 23, 2009 Central Indiana called “Parents are crossing the line in college application process,” Community Foundation Volume 2, Issue 2 Page 5 Continued...Ms. Lindsay Bentz, one vice president of enrollment says, “We wonder why we’re not Center Grove Early College hearing directly from the students….I can’t help but feel that if the Guidance Counselor parent calls or writes that they’re making an excuse for the student.” A recruiting director from another college is seeing a growing num- ber of applications every year that she suspects are filled out by par- ents.

  • Broadcast Sales
    Dear Fellow Broadcaster: Welcome to the newest edition of the Graduate Bulletin from Vincennes University’s Broadcasting Department. It introduces our graduates from May, August, and December of 2008. This Bulletin is also available online. You can access it in three easy steps: • Visit the VU website at vinu.edu • At the VU homepage word search “Broadcasting” • Select Grad Bulletin This is the first year that our students are required to have completed both the Production and Sales track for graduation. Our Advisory Committee has informed us over the past two years that stations are looking for employees who can perform a variety of tasks, especially in the TV reporting area. Our students will be able to shoot ENG, write their own script, do a stand-up, and edit their own footage. In addition, after our graduates pass the Radio Marketing Professional (RMP) test, they will continue to be certified by the Radio Advertising Bureau. WVUB-FM has taken the leap into high-definition broadcasting. WVUB-The Blazer continues to be extremely popular in southern Indiana. Now we offer WVUB HD-2 with a Cool Jazz format. To listen to WVUB HD-2, go to vinu.edu and click on “WVUB HD-2 Plays Cool Jazz” on the left side of the page near the bottom. Vincennes University continues to give students a hands-on education from the very first week of classes. In the opening week of labs, our students learn the operation of studio cameras and audio boards. VU Broadcasting is far from “theory” oriented. We keep our equipment as state-of-the-art as possible.
