So proud of my sister! 🫶🏽
3/3 Here are a couple of prompts to get started: *Pick something that’s important to you (like sports, religion, family, music, movies, your culture, for example) and write about how it makes you feel good. #MTB #morethanbootstraps #DreamHigher2024 #APExams #collegeboard
2/3 Here are a couple of prompts to get started: *What do you love about your family? *What makes you a good friend, son/daughter, sister/brother? #MTB #morethanbootstraps #DreamHigher2024 #APExams #collegeboard
1/3 Research indicates that it can be helpful to practice self-affirmation during times of stress. Journaling for 5-10 minutes is a great exercise during the stress of exams. #MTB #morethanbootstraps #DreamHigher2024 #APExams #collegeboard

3 - Ask for help! Teachers and schools want their students to succeed on these exams. If your school doesn’t offer a prep session, ask if they can! When you reach out for help, you're helping yourself and possibly others! #DreamHigher2024 #APExams #collegeboard
2 - Some AP tests are much, much harder than others. Some have high pass rates. Some exams that are considered easier (Human Geography, US Government and Politics, Environmental Science) have low pass rates.
1 - Exams are scored on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being the highest possible score). Some U.S. colleges grant credit for scores of 3; others only grant credit for scores of 5. Some grant advanced placement, letting you skip an equivalent course once you get to college.

Many top universities have reinstated #StandardizedTesting as a requirement for admission. In this OpEd, Audrey Fisch (@MBootstraps) says requiring standardidized testing harm low-income, underrepresented students. Learn more in @insidehighered: buff.ly/3TNAhvL
@MBootstraps Congratulations to Cassandra for joining a great team!
The inability of some US citizens to submit a FAFSA is becoming a civil rights issue, especially in states like Illinois where aid is first-come, first-served. @GovPritzker
#Chicago-area students worry an unresolved glitch in the new #FAFSA threatens their #college dreams: "It’s just kind of upsetting because you’ve been doing this for how many years & you still can’t figure out a way to make it work?" Via @WBEZ wbez.org/stories/fafsa-…
In light of @dartmouth returning to testing, here's a thread based on @NYMag piece I wrote last year on MIT and why it dug into its historical data rather than doing what many other colleges are doing: looking at how test-optional admits are performing: nymag.com/intelligencer/…
🧵MIT has returned to requiring SAT/ACT. Other top colleges haven't follow yet, instead extending test-optional to track students who came in that way. Meanwhile, MIT looked at its historical data. I dig into why and what’s next for test-optional @NYMag nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Mini-thread. Last week someone said I was spreading a conspiracy theory about College Board cranking up the PR Machine in a desperate attempt to make their product relevant again, when this slanted NYT piece ran.

This is important for busting the myth that students from low-income backgrounds are "taken care of" with need-based financial aid.
Students from the lowest income backgrounds need to contribute almost 150% of their household income to cover the full-time cost of college, even after accounting for grants and scholarships. The latest from @IHEPTweets 👉 ihep.org/college-afford…

18% of college students who had a GPA of 3.0 or better in high school are food insecure in college. It's time to cut the bootstrap bullshit, folks. #RealCollege
@MBootstraps Great things going on with MTB!
To make admission fair and equitable, we must look at the myriad ways privilege eases one’s way in. Children of donors. Children of Faculty. Athletes. Elite colleges have been getting their new crops of student from monied sources for generations. nytimes.com/2023/07/25/us/…
