What can I do this summer (summer before senior year) to improve my college applications?
Hello! This summer will be my last summer in high school. This fall, I'll be applying to colleges. I was wondering what things I could do this summer to improve my applications. I'm signing up to volunteer at my local hospital however, I found out it's lottery-based, not skill-based, so I am not sure if I'll get the spot. I am also going to retake the SAT this August, I wanted to take the ACT, however, I am not too sure. I also plan to tutor young kids in my community. I feel like I am not doing enough and that my peers are way ahead of me. I plan for my major to be public/community health, so it would be better if I did things in relation to that. Please let me know of some other things I could do to improve my college apps!!! Thank you :)
