ACADEMICS
Academic Growth
Major and Minor(s)
[List]
Courses That Shaped Me
[2–3 courses and why they mattered]
Academic Goals
[What you’re working toward this year]
How I Do My Best Work
Replace with your photo
[Where, when and with whom do you study well? What have you tried that didn’t work? Knowing this is worth more than any single grade.]
Mid-Semester Check-In Reflection
[How your semester is going and what adjustments you made. Grades are not required.]
Semester Reflection
[Semester, Year]
What worked
[A habit, a study method, a class structure that suited you.]
What didn’t
[Be honest. This page is for you before it’s for anyone else.]
One change I’m making
[A single, specific change for next semester.]
Something I can now explain to someone else
[A concept, skill or idea you understand well enough to teach. This is the real measure of a semester.]
Duplicate this block each semester. Do not delete the old ones — the point is seeing the change.
When I Struggled
[A course or concept that was genuinely hard, what you did about it, and who helped — a tutor, the Math Assistance Center, a professor’s office hours, a classmate.]
Asking for help belongs in the record. It is evidence of how you work, not a gap in it.
Class to the Real World
[Where has something from a class shown up outside it — in your leadership role, a service project, a job, or a conversation you’d have handled differently a year ago?]
OPTIONAL
Research, Honors or a Standout Project
[Research, honors work or a standout project]
