Getting into prestigious colleges is something a lot of high school students desire to do.

People provide different types of advice, however things can often feel confusing due to the level of different opinions. So, what do you think allows a student to prove unique to those top schools?

I feel like personal statements can either feel too cliche, where there's too much trauma-dumping, however I feel like setbacks are what make every humans experience unique.

So how can I write about hardships, without making it seem like a trauma-dump with no consistency?

I'm a sophomore in high school, and I'm contemplating what I should take in high school and college to prepare myself to start a business. I won't state what my business will be, but it's a one-stop shop for all things green to help make it easy for brands to be eco-friendly, and to make it...

I feel like I've always had a different idea till I decided to study business, but I'm afraid it may change again. Is this common?

trying to enter the legal field, do law firms truly care as much as it is advertised what law school a potential job candidate went to?

I though it would be better to get more specific in my description here as I'm very interested in the Biomedical field, Is there a specific career or field that encompasses more of the Lab environment? I was thinking more of something that has to do with tissues or genetic devices? I think I...

How would you guys go about making a good essay for college? I believe when writing an essay you give your best effort but also make sense to it and very appealing for admission officers to accept you into their campus.

I have a 4.04 weighted GPA, taken 8 AP classes, mostly honors/AP courses, but no extracurriculars because of my super strict parents. My ACT scores are 27 composite, with 31 English, 30 reading, 24 math, and 23 science, but I’m working to improve them. I really want to get into LSU or the...

I just graduated from high school, and I'm kinda lost what I want to do for a career, as I've always loved helping people and animals. I am not sure if I have enough money to afford this. And other than that, I don't know what I genuinely enjoy doing for a living.

I have absolutely no idea what I want to do or what I what college major to choose. I know some of the things I'm interested in (writing, literature, music, philosophy, direct care) but how can I narrow it down?

How do I know what career I want to do if I don't have many career-based interests? I'm a junior in high-school and I feel like I need to start thinking about what I want t odo in the future and what career I want to do. My interest mostly include playing sports, listening to music, and how...

I'm a high school junior and I like math and art. All of my extracurriculars are really centered around education though. I tutor kids in reading and my past 2 jobs have both been working with kids. Architecture and engineering are both interesting to me but I'm not entirely sure what I want to do.
