What can I do as a senior to boost my chances?
Answered

I am a rising senior and I really want to try and get the highest possible acceptance for a few schools. Is it too late for me if I want to do both a volunteer beach clean-up and MUN my senior year? Will colleges even look at that?

Hi daviesjm,

I totally believe it is possible to boost your chances even in the senior year. As an international student, many of us only find out that going to college in the US is an option when we have already left high school or have one year left, so i think it's worth to try and do all the things that all within your passion. If you have many brilliant extracurriculars already it's maeby more important to focus on grades, but it is just a prioritisation about where you think your application is most in need of a boost.

Good luck!
