It's fantastic that you're already strategizing for your college application - this is a crucial step given the competitive nature of admissions. Here are some strategies to help you shine:
1) Essays - Let your creativity flow! Craft an essay that grabs attention. Even if you feel like you don't have the most "interesting" or "unique" story or essay topic, you can focus on writing it in a unique way. Enjoy the process of writing and take your time to make it the best it can be.
2) Leadership - Engage actively in school clubs, sports teams, volunteer activities, and more. You don't need to be the head of the group, but showing genuine participation and dedication can make your application more appealing.
3) BE AUTHENTIC!!! It's wonderful that you're brainstorming ways to stand out, but remember, it's vital to stay true to who you are. Showcasing your genuine interests and experiences will resonate with the person reviewing your application.
Best of luck - you've got this!
