[quote=Anonymous]Your student’s classes should reflect their strengths and interests. They should be able to show who they are to a college when they apply and why it’s a good fit for them. Are they in a special program at one of the DCCs? If not, it’s fine - all the schools have plenty of APs and other electives. Believe it or not, the schools just don’t look for APs. As far as extracurriculars, they should be getting involved and working their way up to a leadership position (President of club, captain of sports team, student leadership positions). They should have a lot of SSL hours. There is an award for students with over a certain amount. For the Liberal Arts schools, they will likely will want to see involvement in the fine arts. Be prepared to answer questions on applications about how your student helped out community and make the world a better place, how they will contribute to DEI on campus and so on. [/quote]
