Hi there! I'm a junior and I want to make the most of my summer before senior year. What activities or experiences can I pursue during the summer to improve my college application? I'm open to any suggestions and would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Hi! It's great that you want to make the most of your summer before senior year. One option is to find a part-time job or internship related to your intended major or field of interest. This will not only give you valuable experience, but it'll also demonstrate your commitment to your chosen field. Another idea is to volunteer or participate in community service projects. Colleges love to see applicants who are engaged in their communities and are making a positive impact. If you have any academic weaknesses, consider taking a summer course to strengthen your skills. You could also explore summer programs offered by colleges and universities that focus on subjects you’re interested in. Lastly, don't forget to enjoy your summer and spend time with friends and family. A well-rounded applicant is one who can balance work, academics, and personal life. Good luck!
