Increase Your Chances of Admission Highlight On Your Application: Grades and test scores. Obvious? Yes, But these marks are one of the first things colleges consider. Make sure you do what you can to get these as high as possible. Extracurricular activities. Have you taken a leadership role in your activities? What have you accomplished? Think: quality over quantity. Rigorous course schedule. Schools want to see challenging courses that will help you grow academically. Talk to your counselor about opportunities for advanced courses, such as Advanced Placement (AP) level. Strengthen Your Application Essay: Show, do not tell. Do not just list your attributes. Be specific! For example, saying that you are helpful is not as interesting as writing about your experiences volunteering. Creativity counts. Avoid standard essay topics. Try an original idea, something an admissions office has not read a million times before. The essay is your opportunity to show your prospective college what makes you YOU. Check for spelling errors. Make sure to proofread your writing, then ask a parent or teacher to look it over for spelling or grammar errors. FastWeb! Student Bulletin, High School Edition |
