ABOUT ME
Hello, my name is Elaine Seremetis. I have been an educator in many capacities for decades, during which time I cultivated the skills to motivate each student to reach their potential. I develop strategies of working with students based on their personality and learning style, setting up a relationship that empowers the student to bring out his or her own voice.
DID YOU KNOW?
Students who are TOLD what to do lose interest and are easily distracted. Uncommon Application Services ENGAGES students to create applications representing their authentic BEST SELF.
Remember, it’s not WHERE you go, but WHAT you do when you’re there!
QandA
Q: I have a friend who applied to 18 schools and another who applied to 3. What is the right number of applications to submit?
A: While there is no perfect number, I advise a range of 6-10 applications. This allows for a balance of Reach/Possible/Probable schools to give you a good opportunity to have options. Applying to more than ten adds time and stress that takes away from your important senior year coursework, and applying to only a few schools may leave you with no options.
