Are you a high school student looking to build an impressive college portfolio so you can get into the school of your dreams? Here are three essential ways to build your college profile. After reading the list, don’t forget to sign up for a free webinar to learn even more creative ways to impress admissions officers.
- Start your own business – Nothing says intrepid like someone who paves their own path in business. If you are already running a successful startup when you apply to school, that shows what you will be able to do later on. Every university wants to graduate the next Elon Musk.
- Find an internship – Getting a job in your chosen career field, even if you don’t get paid, can show the school how serious you are about your education and your future in a certain field of study.
- Take college credits now – Advanced placement classes can help you acquire credits in advance and give you a head start on your degree. Even if some of the credits end up not counting (due to your major or the university you attend), it is still a great way to separate yourself from the crowd.
