Admissions Advice

Does a published App on App Store make your profile stand out?
Answered

I couldn't find a section on CollegeVine addressing whether publishing an app on the app store would increase my chances of admission into an ivy league or equivalent school.

If it does, does the number of downloads and rating play a role in its impact on my chances?

Yes it will, publishing apps do look good, but if you have an extremely popular app, it will look much more significant compared to a less popular one. I personally wouldn’t worry about marketing a single app, but show dedication by publishing multiple apps instead, even if they aren’t as popular.
