College Admission : Tips from a college freshman

Following your passions can greatly help you in gaining admittance to universities. Admissions committees want passionate students to be on their campus because it makes their college more lively and interesting. When it comes to the more selective colleges, I can’t stress enough how much the uniqueness factor seems to play a role in admissions. Admissions officers have to go through tons of statistically similar applicants all the time. If we can’t be the smartest applicants in the pool, at least be the one who makes that bored admissions officer smile in interest as he or she reads our application.
