Obviously, academics are a critical part of college and scholarship selection processes. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
• Keep a strong academic record – Grades aren’t everything, but they do matter.
• Follow a college preparatory curriculum – Pre AP, AP, and Guaranteed Transfer College Level Classes are a great way to prepare for your future goals.
• Take 4 years of the core subjects – English, Math, Science, and Social Studies and 2 to 3 years of the same World Language.
• Select meaningful electives that reflect your interests and goals.
• Know and take the college entrance exams you will need for admittance to the colleges you are interested in. ACT, ACT w/writing, SAT and SAT 2’s – Plan ahead, study, practice and take them more than once to improve your score.

Involvement in your community plays a crucial role in selection processes since it shows that you have a sense of responsibility, commitment and interest outside of the classroom. When describing your community service activities, remember to include:
• The depth of your participation – Explain your roles and responsibilities and describe their value to the organization.
• The length of your commitment – Be clear when describing the time commitment associated with the activity. Was it a one-time event, or has it become a regular part of your schedule? • Leadership and initiative – Selection committees want to identify people who will be leaders on their campuses. Describe how you assumed leadership roles, initiated projects or led others through your volunteer efforts.
• Be specific and detailed in your descriptions to ensure selection committees understand EXACTLY what you did and how you contributed to the organization!

Describing your extracurricular activities allows you to tell the selection committees about all of the amazing things with which you have been involved. Other than academics and community service, extracurricular activities include nearly everything else you spend your time doing. You’ll want to:
• Arts, athletics, school clubs, civic groups, work, internships, summer programs, hobbies and special interests.
• Select activities based on your true interests, talents and passion, not just because you think they’ll look good on a resume.
• Describe the depth of your participation – How did you contribute? Paint a picture of your value to the organization.
• What was the length of your commitment?
• What leadership or initiative did you exhibit? Be SPECIFIC and DETAILED when describing your involvement on an application.
