Why Do Colleges Need a Reading List Anyway?

June 25, 2009

Record keeping is for important so that you keep things that are needed by your state law.  It’s also important to keep records that you will need to make course descriptions AND keep records that colleges may ask you for (writing samples, etc.)

One of the things colleges seem most interested in is a high school reading list.  But why should they care?  The reading list gives a snapshot of the student, so colleges will know more about their reading level, interests, and extracurricular reading.   The reading list should include ALL books, whether for school or for fun.  Not every college asks for one, just like not every college asks for a course description.  So both come under the category of “always be prepared.”
