Being prepared for college is important, but more qualified students apply than there are spaces for these days. I guess we could just take the kids with the most AP/IB classes, highest GPAs, and best test scores and call it a day, but along with admitting qualified students, we’re charged with forming an interesting and eclectic class. Often times, the essays, teacher recs, and activity lists help with that.</p>
<p>Students don’t have to be completely unique, but being interesting and creative can help when so many great students are applying for a limited number of spaces in the class.</p>
