Question

i am thinking about doing some extra classes online or in community college but what else is there?
what are you doing, have done, or planning on doing to help you get into the college of your dreams

Answer 1

- Community Service
- Solid Writing Skills
- Solid Critical Thinking/Reasoning Skills
- Good SAT/ACT scores
- Dual enrollment in HS and community college (this will also help build a college-level academic "track record" for you that can be used to prove you are college material)
- Good Work Experience
- Good Networking Skills/Professional Acquaintances (good professionals can write good letters of recommendation for you and speak to your level of intelligence/dedication/etc)
- HS sports/extracurricular activities
- Special talents (foreign language, musical, cultural, etc)
- Community involvement
- Good grades & GPA (at least 3.0, preferably 3.5)
- AP classes

So much! Good luck

Answer 2

Write a book. Do original research, perhaps publish it. Release a CD. Start your own business or non-profit. Any of these things would make you a excellent student for most colleges. But it takes a lot of work to stand out from the crowd.

Answer 3

Do a whole lot of community service. Colleges really like that.
