How do you differentiate yourself in the U.S. college application process?

Choosing a pathway in the United States for post-secondary education can be challenging.

Prepskills helps families navigate the US college pathway for students who are considering specialized programs, college athletics, performing arts and more!

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?

JOIN US FOR U.S. COLLEGE CONNECT IN-PERSON ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 TO FIND OUT!

If U.S. college is a part of your potential trajectory, consider the following:

  • How do you submit your application, personal statement, references, and supplemental materials?
  • What non-academic factors are considered by US colleges?
  • What are the timelines and financial considerations when applying to US colleges?
  • What’s a Liberal Arts college?
  • What do performing arts, visual or music US-bound students need to know?
