Crafting a Standout Summer for Selective College Admissions

The summer between junior and senior year is a critical time for college-bound students to align their experiences with their future goals. ASMSA Executive Director Corey Alderdice explores why this summer is more than a break—it’s a chance for students to create meaningful opportunities that stand out in the competitive college admissions process. From passion projects to internships, camps, and research opportunities, we discuss how students can use this time to build points of distinction that reflect their authentic interests and make a lasting impression.
