Welcome to a no-nonsense, unconventional approach to college admissions
Hey AdmissionsMom: Real Talk from Reddit
from the voices of r/ApplyingToCollege, with Carolyn Allison Caplan, aka u/admissionsmom
FRONT DOOR COLLEGE ADMISSIONS HELP
Discover what over 100,000 engaged r/ApplyingToCollege subscribers are learning about as they discuss a fresh approach to college admissions.
With Hey AdmissionsMom, Carolyn and the kids from r/ApplyingToCollege give you a place to stop trying to figure out what your top schools want in you and instead ask yourself, What do I want out of life when I leave high school? What do I see for myself?
You're a talented, interesting student, and when you really know who you are, you're going to make the best decisions for yourself
As a sophomore or junior entering the college admissions process, maybe you're overwhelmed by the paperwork, school descriptions, test score requirements, extracurricular activity options, and the daunting task of figuring it all out without losing yourself.
Others of you already started the college admissions process and feel okay about your applications, but you're struggling with the personal statement or essays.
Or, you want permission not to be a carbon copy of the ideal student and want out-of-the-box ways to be yourself, both in life and in the admissions process.
And you're not just managing your expectations, but also your parents.
College admissions can be especially intimidating if your high school sucks, you're first in your family to go to college, or you haven't always been a model student.
You might also be a concerned parent or mentor looking for a guide designed not to stress you and your kid out and might even help with that as you learn the ropes of college admissions.
For all the times you or your high school student thought, "There has to be a better way," when you hear advice about high-performance, achievement, and crazy amounts of EC's (extracurriculars)...
You were right. You just found it.
Hey AdmissionsMom: Real Talk from Reddit
In this refreshingly honest, irreverent digest of college admissions questions and answers from u/admissionsmom and the subreddit, r/ApplyingToCollege, you'll find 37 bite-sized chapters of practical information, inspiring personal stories, insider tips, and yes, we have to be honest about this here - the occasional swear word, too.
The time is NOW for you to:
Focus on who you are, what you want from life, and how college fits into your goals, not the reverse
Write essays and personal statements that actually sound like you, the real you
Stop being one of 50,000 students applying to the same 20 colleges
Stay positive even if you're not valedictorian or you didn't cure cancer (nobody else has either -- yet)
Find questions asked by students just like you, so you don't feel alone or like you're the only one who doesn't already have it all figured out
Take a deep breath as you learn about mindfulness

This book is an ambitious and wide-ranging social and cultural history of gender relations among indigenous peoples of New Spain, from the Spanish conquest through the first half of the eighteenth century. In this expansive account, Lisa Sousa focuses on four native groups in highland Mexico--the Nahua, Mixtec, Zapotec, and Mixe--and traces cross-cultural similarities and differences in the roles and status attributed to women in prehispanic and colonial Mesoamerica.
Sousa intricately renders the full complexity of women's life experiences in the household and community, from the significance of their names, age, and social standing, to their identities, ethnicities, family, dress, work, roles, sexuality, acts of resistance, and relationships with men and other women. Drawing on a rich collection of archival, textual, and pictorial sources, she traces the shifts in women's economic, political, and social standing to evaluate the influence of Spanish ideologies on native attitudes and practices around sex and gender in the first several generations after contact. Though catastrophic depopulation, economic pressures, and the imposition of Christianity slowly eroded indigenous women's status following the Spanish conquest, Sousa argues that gender relations nevertheless remained more complementary than patriarchal, with women maintaining a unique position across the first two centuries of colonial rule.
