Hi everyone, I'm a junior and I have a dream school in mind. I'm wondering what I can do to improve my chances of getting in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hey there, I totally understand how important it is to get into your dream school. First of all, make sure you focus on maintaining a good GPA and challenging yourself with rigorous courses like AP or IB. It's also important to engage in extracurricular activities that you're passionate about, and consider taking on leadership roles in those activities. Start preparing for standardized tests like the SAT or ACT early, and make use of free resources like Khan Academy to help improve your scores. Lastly, when it comes time to apply, put your best foot forward in your essays and showcase what makes you unique. Don't forget to ask for strong recommendation letters from teachers who know you well. Keep working hard and stay focused, and remember that there's no guaranteed formula for admission, but these steps will definitely improve your chances. Good luck!
