Learn the Art of Marketing Oneself to Earn Admission

Many applicants focus on presenting what they think makes them unique and hope admissions officers appreciate those traits.  With so many talented applicants, it is challenging to stand out.  Instead, ask what admissions officers value, and prepare accordingly.  Admissions officers look for students that will propel their college forward by competing for their sports teams, playing in the orchestra, and leading organizations and causes that advance the student body forward.  By highlighting skills, passion, and interests in these valued areas, your child can present herself as a more attractive applicant. Your child can apply this mindset when applying for a coveted job or graduate school.
