Can you tell me more about how I can make the Wow factor work for me?

I appreciate your inquiry Arianna. You are obviously a go getter and reach high to achieve your goals.

The Wow factor focuses on highlighting how high school students can express their uniqueness in character and involvement to their desired universities. Apart from academics and extracurricular, this feature of your application will heavily emphasize your character and unique individuality. This will be expressed in sections of your application such as your personal statement.

You would use the Wow Factor in your application by describing the qualities that make up your character and personality in your essays and when describing your involvement in extracurriculars. Additionally, you would link this to your racial background and/or ethnicity. Though the banning of affirmative action has attempted to silence this part of students' application, an easy way to go around this is by having your extracurriculars and involvement reflect your background in some way. This will make it very difficult for universities to disregard this very important part of your life.

I hope that I answered your questions in the best way possible. Be sure to check out the rest of our website for additional information and resources. Keep up the good work!😊
