Stand Out in College Admissions

What fascinates you? Are you driven to learn about the internet, technology or business? Do you want to be head-and-shoulders above the crowd in college admissions? Are you looking for fresh challenges and new opportunities?

Push the envelope with this idea that can really help you as you work toward getting into Stanford. Offer yourself as an intern right up front!

This is a lot easier than you might think. Of course, it takes some work and initiative from you, but it is worth the trouble. It looks really good on your college applications, and it can help you to elevate your professional and career interests to the next level.

Here are two ways to get started on this:

1. Google local start-ups. Send them e mails with a brief description of your experience and your background. Tell them you are seeking a part-time or summer internship.

It’s a good idea to seek opportunities locally. You will be more likely to find something you are familiar with and interested in. Of course, a local internship will also be more convenient for you.

#2 Search some of your most-often-used online services, such as Facebook, Myspace, and Imeem. Hunt for human resource staff and recruiters. “Friend” them and let them know that you want to do some volunteer, intern work. You may very well find exactly what you are looking for.

Start-ups are always looking for help. They are really eager to find free help. If you are willing to put your best foot forward and show this kind of initiative as a teenager, you are sure to be an impressive job candidate when you are ready to begin your career. Don’t be nervous about doing this. You have nothing to lose! The worst thing that will happen is they will turn you down. Then you can just try again!

Your college application will be greatly strengthened by internships. They provide you with work experience and spotlight your leadership abilities. When you are willing to serve as an intern, it is a strong indication that you are a person who will take initiative and get the job done. Aside from all that, your experiences as an intern will give you great material for your college essays and your alumni interviews.

Finally, and best of all, when you perform well as an intern, you can count on having a strong, one-of-a-kind recommendation. Think about it. Most college applicants will have a few recommendations from their high school teachers. You will have an impressive recommendation from your CEO! Everybody wins with this situation. It is a great way to get a leg-up into Harvard.

Exercise creative thinking at every turn. New ideas are the ones that attract attention and carry you to your goals. If you need feedback on an idea, I would be happy to look it over for you. You can e mail me at john AT hopelesstoharvard.com.

Unique risk-taking is a sure way to increase your chance of acceptance to an Ivy League school. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain! Get started finding your internship opportunity today!
