College admissions is not what it seems! Even average students can beat the odds if they can differentiate themselves from other students. College Peas outlines a time-tested basic strategy for positioning yourself as the kind of student that colleges crave.
Most high school students look like every other high school student to the college admissions staff. They have the same education, the same sports, the same activities and the same interests. Colleges need students who bring a fresh perspective to the classroom.
Break the mold and get into the college of your dreams!
