These passion projects, which are ambitious projects that high school students create and complete outside of the classroom, can guide students toward fields of study they are interested in (like political science, marine biology, and engineering).

Talk to your counselor about the rigor of your classes and your school-life balance. Take the classes that you are interested in rather than simply adding AP’s to your schedule to inflate your GPA or schedule.

Deferred…it is NOT the end.
Your college application finds itself in the realm of uncertainty—deferred. The initial wave of early admissions has unfolded, and while some celebrate acceptance and others confront rejection, you linger in a state of limbo. It's a peculiar space in college...
