I just want to help the ones who will apply to top colleges. This can be helpful for your grad school, also. It is an advice that is given by college advisors after charging thousands, but I just found out about it. It is late to help mine, but it will definitely help if you do it ASAP. Remember, helping a few dozen kids with STEM program will not be enough, but recruiting helpers and reaching out to several thousands of low income students will guarantee acceptance to Harvard and more. It isn’t difficult at all to reach out to thousands when you count everyone who shows up even if they don’t show up every gathering. More than few students used this method over the years, and they got huge scholarship based on community service and acceptance to almost every college. See the link: Post #790. Don’t wait until fall. Start the volunteering group now and grow it. Even for a grad school, this will help since college puts heavy emphasis on community service.
