What does it mean to be a “pointy” college applicant?

• In addition to your academic transcript from Grades 9-12 and your test scores, what makes you STAND OUT?
• The key is authenticity and how to convey your interests and passions in the narrative of a college essay.
• When you can communicate to colleges that you are aware of more than just yourself, this will provide you the razor-edge difference.
• Those who aren’t necessarily well rounded but have an area of expertise or passion tend to stand out.
• Application depth makes you “pointy”. What’s your narrative arc that will make you stand out?
• How do you take your application from good to GREAT? What’s your deep accomplishment “pointy” spike?
• U.S. colleges take a “Holistic” approach to admissions. Are you READY to be READY?
