<p>What’s the best way a high schooler can use a high school summer to improve their college chances?</p>
<p>best way is by pursuing passions Of the intellectual/educational type, not other… whatever your interests are… do something related to that… something that shows interest/knowledge outside of school.</p>
<p>sMITten is right. The “best way” depends on your definition of “best”. Best for what?–an aspiring chef, a budding artist, a virtuoso drummer? In all cases, it would still be the one that you would most benefit from, most enjoy, and most learn from.</p>
