“I have always been involved in a variety ofJan 12 2010Education
I have always been involved in a variety of activities from an early age. Throughout my childhood I have been involved in many activities such as: Girl Scouts, School Choir, Dance, Varsity Cheerleading team, Yearbook Sports Editor, Gymnastics, Religious School teacher's aide, and Pop Warner junior coach. I did all of these activities while keeping up a good GPA throughout the years. I also had two jobs prior to starting college. I currently still work as a camp counselor at YMCA Capital District-Camp Nassau in Guilderland, New York. I also worked as a teacher's assistant at my temple (Beth Emeth) in Albany, New York for four years. I recommend students to get involved in a variety in activities in high school- both a part of the school and activities outside the school. Having a part-time job during high school is a great way to show time management, all while keeping up with studies. Getting into college is a hard process, so the more activities you are involved in, all while keeping up with schoolwork, shows schools that you can manage your time well in a successful manner!

“Prospective students should take challenging courses and earn goodJan 12 2010Business - Management and Administration
Prospective students should take challenging courses and earn good grades in them. They need to be involve in many activities both in and out of school to show that they are interested in going the extra mile to succeed and do well. Students also need to earn good scores on their SAT/ACT to show the college their level of competitiveness with other students. The best thing students can do is work hard and be passionate about their activities.
