You want your student profile to stand out for college admissions officers, but you also want it to show off your unique personality. How you can you prepare an impressive portfolio that also tells about who you are? Here are a few tips:
- Play your favorite sport – If you are an athlete and want to get into a college program, this is clearly a must. However, even if you have no intention of playing professional sports, having high school sports on your student profile can show that you like to stay physically fit (which is also good for your academic performance) and that you are a team player – something crucial in the business environment.
- Volunteer in the community – Volunteer work shows that you have the good of the community in mind rather than your personal advancement alone, and colleges love to see that kind of initiative. However, what you choose to do as your volunteer service also says a lot about your personal values.
- Become an entrepreneur – Starting your own business reveals an entrepreneurial spirit sought after by universities. Again, it is the type of business you start and how you handle success (or failure) that will reveal your inner person.
