![]() When choosing courses for the following year of high school, do you pick classes because they will look good on your college application? Do you worry that you aren’t taking enough or any honors or AP classes? The truth is, that successful college preparation looks different for every student, whether your goal is a small private college, a flagship university, or an elite college. The key to all future academic opportunities is a well-rounded education, so students should seek to gain skills, knowledge, and information. Students also need to find ways to develop a global perspective by learning more about the world beyond their classroom. Be knowledge-thirsty as opposed to grade-hungry! ![]() In college admissions, showing genuine interest can significantly impact your chances of acceptance at certain schools. While colleges track common forms of demonstrated interest—such as campus visits and opening emails—going beyond the basics can make a big difference. These strategies not only demonstrate an authentic interest but also help you engage deeply with the university, ensuring it’s the right fit for you. ![]() As summer comes to a close, it's time for high school seniors to buckle down and focus on the college application process. For both juniors and seniors, attending college presentations from admissions representatives at your school is highly recommended. These visits are more than just informational sessions; they're opportunities to make a personal connection with the college representative who might be the one reviewing your application. If a college of interest isn’t visiting your school, be sure to explore their website, do a virtual tour, and don't hesitate to contact the admissions office to learn more. |
