Appearances
Taking rigorous classes, whatever you can
Y that's reasonable for you.
and doing well at them, getting to know your high school teachers, maybe on Zoom because you can't do in person, but doing some having some extra questions for them, going to their office hours um again by Zoom.
And then when you apply to college doing an essay that's really, really interesting and really genuine and really you.
They essays in some co colleges are gonna take on more

You don't, you can't be the kicker for your football team.
You can't be starting a club and having 15 kids join it.
So those are things to think about too strategically.

Not about the brand.
It's about the fit.

It's about you finding that this college is for you.
Yes, that's much more difficult now because you can't go to a campus and have an overnight.
In some cases you can't even go to a campus and talk to people.
You can just skirt around there.
But
Kids now have so many more options than they did twenty-five years ago to find out about colleges without spending a lot of time there.
