Top 10 Ways to Get into the College of Your Choice
1. Take as many AP & IB classes that you can in High School.
2. Keep your weighted GPA above 4.0
3. Actually sit down and study for the PSAT and SAT. We prefer studying real, old SAT exams.
4. Actively participate in a variety of extra-curricular activities.
5. Keep a central theme behind your extra-curricular activities to show you have a focus.
6. Apply early! Many colleges are easier to get into when you apply and commit early.
7. Do something active. Play a sport even if you're not that good at it.
8. Visit all the colleges you are considering. You will probably eliminate many from your list after seeing them in person.
9. Start working on close relationships with leaders in your community early on so you can get real, heart-felt recommendations from them when you need them.
10. If you get rejected from your top choice college, it can't hurt to call and ask why and see if there is anything you can do to change their minds.
