GATHERING COLLEGE APPLICATION AMMUNITION
As early as your freshman year, students and parents can begin doing two things that will make a big difference in submitting college applications that stand out from the crowd.
This section describes how to gather application ammunition in the form of an activities resume and personal stories about you.
- Your Activities Resume

- How long should it be?

When you finally get to writing application essays, there is no better resource than a collection of these stories.
