5 Ways to Make Your College Application Stand Out
Every year, high school students face the challenge of submitting college applications. The question students often ask us is: What looks good on a college application?
Having worked with hundreds of high school seniors over the years, we’ve personalized our program to address each student’s needs, objectives and top university choices.
Generally, all colleges look for smart, diligent, ambitious and passionate students. They’re also looking for students who are applying to them specifically for their programs because it would be a great fit for their goals.
But, what else could help give you the edge out of thousands of college applicants?
Here, we list the top 5 Ways to Make Your College Application Stand Out:
Excellent Grades in Challenging Courses. It’s great to have a strong GPA, but colleges also factor in a strong curriculum and how the student challenged his/herself in more advanced courses.
High Test Scores. It’s true that nowadays there are “test-optional” alternatives for college applications, but if you do achieve high SAT/ACT scores, it’s best to show them off.
Thoughtful, Well-Written, and Captivating Essays. This is one factor that some students often don’t take into account, but it can help a college applicant stand out in a big way. Before you submit that application, make sure you’ve crafted a thoughtful (significant and specific), well-written (eloquent and error-free) and captivating essay.

Letters of Recommendation. Strong letters of recommendation from teachers or mentors who know you in and outside of the classroom will also help your college application shine because they offer perspectives into your character.
