Network - College applications often require letters of recommendation. You can ask adults with whom you’ve developed meaningful relationships over the years to speak to your best qualities in such letters.
Diversify your dreams - Instead of setting your sights on just one “dream” school, shift your perspective so as to consider a trio or handful of “dreams” schools.
