Stand Out in College Admissions
What fascinates you? Are you driven to learn about the internet, technology or business? Do you want to be head-and-shoulders above the crowd in college admissions? Are you looking for fresh challenges and new opportunities?
Here’s a daring idea that is sure to help you on your path to Stanford. Make yourself available as an intern!
You may think this is difficult, but really it is quite simple. You will need to display some initiative, and it will take a bit of work, but you are sure to find it well worth it. Being an intern really stands out favorably on college applications. It helps you to advance your career and professional interests yet one more notch.
Here are a couple of ways you can achieve this:
1. Google local start-ups. Send them e mails with a brief description of your experience and your background. Tell them you are seeking a part-time or summer internship.
It’s a good idea to seek opportunities locally. You will be more likely to find something you are familiar with and interested in. Of course, a local internship will also be more convenient for you.
#2 Search some of your most-often-used online services, such as Facebook, Myspace, and Imeem. Hunt for human resource staff and recruiters. “Friend” them and let them know that you want to do some volunteer, intern work. You may very well find exactly what you are looking for.

Startups are always looking for good, free help. When you show that you are ready, willing, and able to be of service, it will look very good on your college application. So go ahead and take the initiative. Find yourself a good position to improve your knowledge, skills and abilities and enhance your image.
When you have internships listed on your college application, it is icing on the cake. Internship experience shows that you are an applicant who has leadership ability, work experience, and initiative. It also gives you a great topic to discuss during your alumni interviews and to write about in your college essays.
The best think about intern work is that it will get you a fabulous recommendation. Other college applicants will have recommendations from their high school teachers. You will have one from your CEO. This surely can’t hurt your chances of getting into Harvard.
Always brainstorm and use your most creative ideas. Fresh new ideas are the ones that get you where you want to go. If you have a great idea and want some feedback on it, run it by me at john AT hopelesstoharvard.com.
