Prepping Your Application for College Admission

College Prep Tips for Perfecting Your High School Resume

From soccer game bruises to eternal study sessions to slushy-slinging bullies, high school can be intense. The cool news is that you can transform the intensity of your high school years into stuff that matters on a global scale. To do that you have to think of high school in terms of a resume.

As you engage in project partnerships, various academic clubs and sports, consider the experiences you’re collecting as resume highlights. This infographic offers tips for categorizing those experiences to build a solid high school resume. You’ll also find tips on how to match your HS resume highlights with the right college. You’ll even see how volunteering abroad can give you a foundation for future leadership.

So, yeah, the sports scrapes and the pop quizzes aren’t soft and cuddly. But they may just help you build a perspective that will inspire your community and your world to make positive changes. And that’s definitely a good payoff.
