How can I develop my "spike" in literature & writing to maximize my chances of admittance at a prestigious school?

I understand that you didn’t start this thread with the intention of any help in developing a college list, but if you change your mind, I’m sure there’d be a number of people who would be willing to help. If you do want any suggestions, make sure to let people know what you’d be interested in (climate, areas of the country, size, types of extracurriculars, heavy Greek life or not, big athletics or not, urban/suburban/rural, etc). Also, you’d want to indicate your current GPA.

ETA: And your current state. I know you express a desire to go out-of-state, but depending on where you live, the state may have agreements with other states for you to get reduced tuition costs at universities outside of your state.

In case you haven’t seen these, here are two threads that you might want to read.
