Champions are Made During the Off-season

At JBTP, we like to say that Champion College Applicants are Made During the Off-season. The Common Application asks applicants to list summer schools and programs attended since the ninth grade as well as extracurricular activities, community service and summer employment. Many colleges also ask the student to elaborate in application supplements. So plan productive high school summers, especially this one. Job One is to become great at the one extra-curricular skill you’ll participate in during college. But also read, look over any preparatory materials in weaker subjects so you’ll be ready in August, chase a dream you’ve always had (intern at your local newspaper, volunteer at a camp, learn movie-making software, champion a cause on a blog, self-publish your first book) and have fun. Though earning money probably is also on your summer schedule, this is the time to expand and refuel. Only your imagination should limit you. Besides invigorating your mind and soul, you’ll probably be doing the same to your future college admissions and financial aid chances.
