What is Your Hook?
- Grades: Take all the hard classes you can and get on the honor roll — every semester!

- College Interview: Dress sharp and sound intelligent. (Practice in front of a mirror if needed). Perfect a good sense of humor and act mature!
You are more than a transcript
Good grades and high test scores are definitely important, but if everyone that applies meets all the same criteria that you do, then finding a way to set yourself apart from the pack is just as important. Colleges want a diverse student body of people with real interests and personalities, so as you get your applications together, don’t just highlight the obvious.
