What would you change about your application process?
I would acknowledge the harsh reality that without a top-tier GPA and test scores, achieving desired results is substantially harder. I advise future applicants to make themselves unique and ensure their story is intuitive and powerful, providing readers with something substantial to vouch for.
How did you deal with the stress of applying to college?
I started early by brainstorming supplemental essays over the summer and using time-blocking to organize my timeline. I also relied on close friends and loved ones for support and made sure to take breaks, as productivity requires being rested.
Which summer activities do you recommend?
I recommend pursuing activities that create a 'spike' rather than just focusing on quantity. For me, starting a business, completing internships where I fundraised significant amounts, and placing art in local exhibits provided unique elements that stood out to admissions readers.
