What is one thing that usually stands out in someone’s application
I have been looking at colleges and I am considering this one college and I just want to know what would stand out on an application or what would you find unique?

Great question!
I'd say telling about yourself, where you come from, or something you're really passionate about such as an extracurricular, or something you simply love to do. I think something that I find unique about someone is a lesson they've learned in life or an experience someone hasn't forgotten. Or about a place you've volunteered at. YOUR ESSAY IS A BIG ONE AS WELL!!
Hopefully, this helps!
Here's some articles that'll help with your application as well:

In my opinion, I believe the things that stand out the most would have to be leadership/volunteering experience. I also believe essays play a huge part in your application as well!
