'''How does Titles Staff evaluate my Sophomore application?'''
'''How does Titles Staff evaluate my Sophomore application?'''


Titles Staff checks these three components for all Sophomore applicants: wiki, forums, and killboard, because they are easily evaluated without you (the applicant) having to do much.  However, lots of students participate in a variety of other activities that aren’t easily tracked by the game or the EVE University servers.  Incursions, AMC, and Solitude are examples of PvE activities that can be hard for Titles Staff to evaluate (although there is no reason why participating in those campuses wouldn’t lead to activity in the wiki, forums, and killboard).  In these cases we can rely on references.  If you feel that you are active in some way that we won’t be able to assess, then in the text of your application give us some names of individuals that can vouch for your activities.  These people could be Mentors, Campus Officers, or other students that hold the Graduate Title.  Titles Staff will contact them and ask them about your ‘active participation.’

Contribution to the wiki shows participation, but it isn’t for everyone.  If you are actively participating in the EVE University forums, that goes a long way, too.  Titles Staff does not just count how many posts you have, we read most of them (that’s right)!  Saying hello, thanking people for teaching a class, putting in requests for LSC and NSC shipments are fine, but they aren’t considered ‘active participation.’  Getting involved in discussions in a real, meaningful way is what we look for.  That being said, trying to over think whether your forum activity ‘counts’ or not and second-guessing every post probably isn’t a good approach.  We also examine your EVE University killboard.  It is a way to measure your activity in the PvP aspect of the game.  We look at the frequency patterns in your kills and losses, we examine your losses for fits and for comments.  We expect to see an improvement over time (comments should demonstrate what you learned from a loss, and we should see your fits improve over time, too).
