Read Between the Lines

Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·       Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

·       Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.

·       Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.

·       Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.

Science

Science teachers you think analytically and apply theories to reality. Colleges want to see that you’ve taken at least three years of laboratory science classes. A good combination includes two semesters of each of the following sciences:

·        Biology

·        chemistry

·        Earth/space science

More competitive schools expect you to take four years of lab science courses. You can add two semesters in one of the following subjects:

·        Chemistry or physics (science you didn’t already study)

·        advanced biology

·        Advanced chemistry

·        Advanced physics
