Hey everyone! I'm really hoping to get into a highly competitive college, but I'm worried about standing out among all the other applicants. What can I do to make my application unique and memorable? Thanks for any advice!
Hi there! I totally understand your concern, as my own child went through a similar process and now attends a highly competitive college. One of the key things to focus on is developing a strong, cohesive narrative throughout your application. This includes essays, extracurriculars, recommendations, and even your course selection. Make sure they all tie together to tell a story about your passions, strengths, and goals. Also, try doing something unique or unconventional in your essays. Be genuine, and let your personality shine through! Colleges love to see applicants who are not only academically strong but also have a diverse and interesting background. Lastly, don't forget to seek out opportunities that are related to your interests, such as internships, volunteering, or research opportunities. The more experiences you can showcase, the better! Good luck with your applications, and remember to stay true to yourself!
