In part one of this two-part post, I referenced five ways to differentiate yourself in preparation for applying to college.
The first five tips were:
- Do what you love
- Distinguish yourself at school
- Distinguish yourself in your community
- Get a job or an internship
- Do some independent research
As it gets more and more difficult to be accepted to college, students everywhere are keen to stand out. The good news is that with just a little thought, and some planning, you can. Here's a handy-dandy “top ten” list of sure-fire ways to distinguish yourself when applying to college. In part 1, I’ll share my first five tips, and in part two (to come in a few weeks) I’ll round out my top ten.
