College admissions are becoming more and more about what you do outside the classroom in your free time.
There are many great students - what sets you apart is what you have done in addition to your studies.
College essays encourage you to reflect upon learning experiences and wish to see your true self displayed in your personal statements. Also, colleges wish to see your exposure to diversity and unique experiences.
Below is a list of amazing summer pre-college opportunities.
If you choose not to take advantage of any of these we still urge you to consider doing some campus visits.
