What We Care about in this Time of Crisis: A Collective Statement from
College Admission Deans
As admission and enrollment leaders, we recognize that we and the
institutions we represent send signals that can shape students’ priorities
and experiences throughout high school. This collective statement seeks to
clarify what we value in applicants during this time of COVID-19. We are
keenly aware that students across the country and the world are experiencing
many uncertainties and challenges. We primarily wish to underscore our
commitment to equity, and to encourage in students self-care, balance,
meaningful learning, and care for others.
More specifically, we value the following:
1. Self-care
Self-care is of high importance, especially in times of crisis. We recognize
that many students, economically struggling and facing losses and hardships
of many kinds, are simply seeking to get by. We also recognize that this
time is stressful and demanding for a wide range of students for many
different reasons. We encourage all students to be gentle with themselves
during this time.
2. Academic work
Your academic engagement and work during this time matters to us, but given
the circumstances of many families, we recognize that many of you face
obstacles to academic work. We will assess your academic achievements in the
context of these obstacles. In addition, we will assess your academic
achievements mainly based on your academic performance before and after this
pandemic. No student will be disadvantaged because of a change in
commitments or a change in plans because of this outbreak, their school’s
decisions about transcripts, the absence of AP or IB tests, their lack of
access to standardized tests (although many of the colleges represented here
don’t require these tests) or their inability to visit campus. We will
also view students in the context of the curriculum, academic resources, and
supports available to them.
3. Service and contributions to others.
We value contributions to one’s communities for those who are in a position
to provide these contributions. We recognize that while many students are
not in this position because of stresses and demands, other students are
looking for opportunities to be engaged and make a difference. This pandemic
has created a huge array of needs, whether for tutoring, contact tracing,
support for senior citizens, or assistance with food delivery. We view
responding to these needs as one valuable way that students can spend their
time during this pandemic.
We also value forms of contribution that are unrelated to this pandemic,
such as working to register voters, protect the environment, combat racial
injustice and inequities or stop online harassment among peers. Our interest
is not in whether students created a new project or demonstrated leadership
during this period. We, emphatically, do not seek to create a competitive
public service “Olympics” in response to this pandemic. What matters to us
is whether students’ contribution or service is authentic and meaningful
to them and to others, whether that contribution is writing regular notes to
frontline workers or checking in with neighbors who are isolated. We will
assess these contributions and service in the context of the obstacles
students are facing. We also care about what students have learned from
their contributions to others about themselves, their communities, and/or
their country (Please see Turning the Tide for additional information about
the kinds of contributions and service we value). No student will be
disadvantaged during this time who is not in a position to provide these
contributions. We will review these students for admissions in terms of
other aspects of their applications.
4. Family contributions.
Far too often there is a misperception that high-profile, brief forms of
service tend to “count” in admissions while family contributions—which
are often deeper and more time-consuming and demanding—do not. Many
students may be supervising younger siblings, for example, or caring for
sick relatives or working to provide family income, and we recognize that
these responsibilities may have increased during these times. We view
substantial family contributions as very important, and we encourage
students to report them in their applications. It will only positively
impact the review of their application.
5. Extracurricular and summer activities.
No student will be disadvantaged for not engaging in extracurricular
activities during this time. We also understand that many plans for summer
have been impacted by this pandemic and students will not be disadvantaged
for lost possibilities for involvement. Potential internship opportunities,
summer jobs, camp experiences, classes, and other types of meaningful
engagement have been cancelled or altered. We have never had specific
expectations for any one type of extracurricular activities or summer
experience and realize that each student’s circumstances allow for
different opportunities. We have always considered work or family
responsibilities as valuable ways of spending one’s time, and this is
especially true at this time.
Reporting information that is important to students and to us. We will
gather information from schools themselves about curriculum and academic
resources and supports, but encourage students to communicate any factors
specific to their circumstances that impeded their academic performance.
Those factors might include, for example, lack of access to the internet, no
quiet place to study, or the various family responsibilities described
above. We encourage students to describe concretely how any of these
circumstances have negatively affected their academic performance or ability
to engage in activities that matter to them. It is helpful to know, for
example, how much time students spent per week taking on a family
responsibility, such as taking care of a sick relative. This information
will be treated completely confidentially. Both the Common Application and
the Coalition for College application provide opportunities for students to
describe how they have been impacted by the pandemic. | C*****8
