How to Stand Out in Your College Application

Author and college admissions consulting expert David Nguyen, Ph.D., details the dilemma: "Applicants to the top 40 national colleges and universities ranked by U.S. News & World Report are already expected to have high GPAs and test scores, so how can students stand out on their college applications?"

Gaining a competitive edge may be all that separates a student getting into a selective school instead of settling for a backup. Included among the 10 student achievement areas Nguyen believes can boost admission chances are social impact, innovation, and art. Each of the 10 areas receives a deeper examination that can help students make the most of their own achievements and point them to other areas they may have neglected.

"In some cases, a student's extracurriculars can sway college admissions officers to forgive less-than-perfect GPAs and less-than-shiny test scores," says Nguyen.

Dr. Jed Macosko, academic director of AcademicInfluence.com and professor of physics at Wake Forest University, adds, "It's crunch time for high school seniors and for those seeking to improve their job desirability during this unusual job market. They need to equip themselves with the most helpful admissions information. AcademicInfluence.com believes Dr. Nguyen's insights can help students build applications that look more appealing to admissions officers and help students achieve their educational goals."
