Hi, I am a Junior and this fall I will be applying to college, and I really want to beef up my application. Are there any summer programs or studies or activities that I could possibly sign up for that could seperate myself from other canidates, so that my chances for admission increase?
thnx for all advice and suggestions
<p>Pretty much anything, volunteer work, summer school, internships, college programs (especially at colleges you're applying to), a steady job.</p>
<p>Anything that shows you didn't sit on your ass all summer.</p>
<p>yeah, but be aware that theyre very wary of sudden sparks of interest in the 11th grade... also, dont do anything very costly, like taking a "community service" trip to turks and caikos, because theyll look down on it, whether or not you actually do anything productive. Do something that goes with the trend on your application.</p>
