Some colleges, like Goucher, Tufts, and many others are now using video to review student applications. It's not just about what you look like on paper.
You can see Mr. Spaeth in the Library to help with this using a green screen if you want to be creative.

Naviance Resume Update (20 pts)
It is important to update your "real time" profile each year. It is important to remember that this must be accurate and truthful. College admissions offices and employers use falsified information as grounds for rejection or dismissal.

Keep in mind that for your own benefit, you need to update your résumé at least once every year so you don't lose track of your activities and accomplishments.
If you are not involved in school activities yet, get started! Getting more involved in school activities requires awareness of opportunities offered at school. Access the Club Activities Booklet pdf and see if their are opportunities available that you were not aware of.
If you do not have any community volunteer service yet, it is time to "up the ante." Volunteering in the community is the part of your image that declares, "I'm not just a 'taker,' I give back and expect nothing in return." You cannot get in our NHS without fulfilling community service in all HS grades leading up to your acceptance. NHS is, in my opinion, the most prestigious HS club at OTHS. Colleges and employers know they are getting a quality individual when this is on your résumé. The links below can help you find something, but you may already be involved, or know of good groups to get involved in through your community or local churches.
