How to boost my chances at college?
I take 4 honors classes and 1 AP and I am I. My junior year. I am about to start my junior year, what can I do to make my resume stronger? My gpa is a 3.0 right now. What can I do to make it stronger?
Do Leadership Activities
Complete an internship.
Get a summer job.
Take online classes and earn certifications.
Volunteer.
Join clubs
Do something that shows your passion to the reader.
Ex: If you want to go to the medical field - write a research essay on healthcare topics, volunteer at hospitals, attend interactive programs on topics you want to explore.
What do you mean by online classes? Where would I take them?
I mean, you can take online courses like Coursera, OCW, etc., but that doesn't make a huge difference in your application.
But you can take college courses. Some colleges provide college courses for high school students, offer online classes, and conduct workshops. I don't know which field you are planning to go to. So, you can just search on Google about which colleges have classes, courses, or workshops.
Alright, I plan on going into either dermatology or computer science. As for earning certifications, would that come with the classes I take?
