For many students, the college essay is the most dreaded part of their application. It can be hard to know what to write and how to stand out. Porcaro’s college admissions handbook, Appliquirktion, is all about helping students do just that. With more than 50 successful sample essays, this easy-to-understand guide takes the guesswork out of the college essay process to help students show who they are. And that’s what colleges are truly looking for.
Key Steps Students Can Take to Stand Out
As students prepare for college, there are steps they can take to get noticed by admissions counselors.
-
Use strengths: With many schools being test optional, students can choose whether or not to share their scores.
-
Be a leader: Highlight leadership positions both in school and the community.
-
Get involved: Show the different ways you are involved in your school and beyond. Extracurriculars help schools see a more complete picture of students.

Aim higher: Participate in internships, research opportunities, and AP/college classes.
