Ways to build your resume for college admission NOW!

The playing field has been leveled and indeed all freshmen, sophomores and juniors are in the same boat. What can you do to help when you need to abide by social distancing? How can you make a contribution in this time of need? Can you have an impact locally?

Amy Morgenstern, an independent college counselor in the San Francisco area, has put together a phenomenal list of ideas for students. I suggest every student review the list carefully and pick 2-3 of the items and then pursue them vigorously. You may very likely NOT be able to do all of these within your own communities.

Everyone should be doing something to contribute, if they can. I imagine many colleges will be looking at how individual students have responded to this crisis. If all you can say is that you played video games for 2.5 months, I think we can all agree that that would make you a less desirable candidate than someone who committed themselves to getting involved. Of course, if you are compromised or your family doesn’t feel it’s safe, then find something else to do.
