How to Stand Out
Start by doing what you truly love so you develop a compelling story that makes you stand out.
Top colleges want applicants who demonstrate qualities that make them stand out.
While academic performance is a pre-requisite, applicants who demonstrate qualities the colleges value are the ones who get admitted.
How to demonstrate these qualities is probably one of the most misunderstood and confusing parts of the application process.
The quality of your engagement with an activity you love is the best way to demonstrate what qualities you possess!
The activity does not have to be world changing, neither does it have to be difficult, but the depth of engagement must be authentic!
