College Image

As a college consultant part of my job entails helping students become an appealing college applicant. The key to winning admission into a choice school is apearing to be an attractive candidate. I'm sure that many students ponder what makes them an attractive candidate to a school. Schools are always looking for students who can add to the overall student body. Schools are looking for students who can fill a void and offer the school something they don't already have. For instance, a school may not have a fencing club. Are you a fencer? Great. Then convey to the school of your intentions to start a fencing club when you arrive on campus. Do you play the oboe? Excellent. Be sure to exhale your oboe-playing ability to the admisssions committee. Schools are like companies they are always looking to improve the overall campus life. So peruse the campus website and look for empty areas on the campus. Then think abou if you could contribute to strengthening the campus. Find away to convey this in your essay, activity sheet or interview.
