Leadership is a Big Deal

For years I’ve advised college-bound students of the value of leadership for increasing their chance for admission to colleges of their choice. College admission officers love students with leadership skills.

Students should try to be a leader in a few extracurricular activities this school year – lead a team, be an officer in a club, start your own project, be on student council, or run for a class office. Demonstrate initiative, commitment, and leadership. College admission officers love students with leadership skills and determination; listing such activities on your college applications will be very impressive.
