Standing out in a Crowded Applicant Pool: How Special Talents Help
Abdul-Alim, Jamaal
Journal of College Admission, n246 p44, 46-47 Win 2020
While grades and course load are the top factors in the college admission decision, highlighting special talents or skills can help students stand out in a crowded applicant pool. Counselors and students must put considerable thought into how an applicant will highlight their talents in a college application. Students should start by identifying the personal qualities that they want admission offices to see in them, such as leadership, concern for others, talent, etc.
