Getting there first is not the same as getting admitted. Collect the right experiences,
protect your foundation, and decide whether to help or hinder your classmates.
Your true applicant score stays hidden until the admissions office reads your file.
Hazards slow your kart and weaken the foundation underneath your profile.
THROW & CHOOSE
Q • HELPE • HINDER
The targeting guide names exactly who Q will help and who E will hinder before you throw.
At urgent highway splits, steer left, center, or right; your kart stays on that route until all three roads merge.
THE TWIST
Each highway route can slow you, leave your speed unchanged, or provide a short boost—but its admissions meaning may be very different.
You will not see your applicant score during the race. At the final gate, the admissions office
evaluates academics, writing, activities, wellness, contribution, and character—then reads what
your recommenders observed when no one was keeping score.
RACE PAUSED
Protecting your pace is part of the game.
Take a breath. The other racers are paused too.
