How to ask for references?
I've been applying for volunteer and job positions for the summers and ALL of them require references and past employers. Although I have a strong list of teachers and a few past employers, my list is pretty short. (All my positions were long term, I have more quality than quantity) I feel bad to keep asking and updating them about using them as a reference. What should I do?! #job #references #resume #application

I took the PSAT ( Pre-sat) this year, and my math score was better than my English, And some people including our school counselor is saying SAT is not very very important in the application, but some of my teachers and my family are saying it's very important, and you have to get a good score on it.

With a busy after school schedule what are some things that stand out in college applications that are not school affiliated?
It's a well known fact that colleges look for many extracurricular activities while viewing an individual's application. At my school I am involved with the drama club and due to the intense schedule of productions, whenever I have free time in the year it is at an awkward time (only December, May, and June) and I cannot easily join clubs I had no affiliation with before. Seeing as I want to stand out on applications but cannot necessarily participate in clubs I want to, what sort of other activities also stick out to colleges? #college #extracurriculars #admissions #application #clubs

Preparing for Medical School, what should I focus on the most?
I understand that grades, GPA, and test scores are extremely important when applying for medical school, or anything medical for that matter. I also know that they like to look at 'unique' characteristics that make the applicant stand out, like taking a different major than the generic ones. And I also know that they like to see a 'well-rounded' applicant- one who works and helps out with community service while studying. My question is: Which one is more important working or doing community service? Seeing as most of my time will be devoted to studying (and trying to keep a healthy lifestyle), I need to determine which is the most important to focus on. I'm just concerned that my application won't be impressive enough and will look, well, sad because of 'lack of effort'. #college #medicine #healthcare #application
