(#Spring25) Do I include honors/awards in my college application? If so, what should I do if I feel like I'm lacking that?
I'm a current Junior and I'm creating my college list and this came to mind. I switched my focus from engineering to business which is why I'm not seeking any sort of medals in clubs like Science Olympiad. I'm worried I may lack awards to talk about especially since I no longer compete in sports like I did before freshman year of high school.
Nonprofit/Organization, Awards, Challenges?
Hello! I am currently a freshman in high school, and my interest lay mainly in architecture and business (specifically hospitality), as I want to create my own hotel brand. In addition to this, I have always wanted to create a nonprofit, or other assisting organization that could assist domestic violence survivors, those currently in those situations, as well as homelessness. Additionally I wish to work on a couple other projects regarding my 2 interests and participate in awards/ challenges for them as well. Does anyone have any recommendations for these? Also, is it okay to work on the nonprofit/project for domestic violence and homelessness? Also, does anyone have any suggestions for that nonprofit/project?
