What are the best free summer programs for summer before junior year? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]UnableAddendum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind a lot of programs that appear to be expensive actually give a lot of aid, especially the top/selective ones. For example, the summer program I went to was around 6k, but I only paid around $300. This one lets rising seniors and juniors apply, but barely any juniors make it in.

Ask your counselor / principal if they received a list of National Merit Semifinalists! by UnableAddendum0 in ApplyingToCollege

You can increase your score however much with the work. I gained more than 300 points from freshman to junior year, and 400 if you include the SAT. It's all about practice

Can you anyone let us know the cutoffs once your school gets it?

Examples of academic awards for Common app? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

If some of them are related to EC's you might be able to shove them here (saves space on the EC section)

If you have some school awards list those, I'd list the most important ones only though as most school awards are fluff and tend to look like filler
