Advice about searching for schools: Think about the types of experiences you want — clubs, sports, and beyond — and how the schools you are looking at can meet all of your college needs. Academics are definitely important, but you aren’t just at school for the classes!

Advice about applying to schools: Let your voice shine in your application! Infuse your personality whenever you can, be it through your essay, your interview, or whatever else you might have worked on. We want to feel like we know you through your application.
