Too many students and their parents ask, "how do I get in to XYZ College" without asking, "which colleges will best support my passions, abilities, and interests?" I find that students with genuine passion for something are more likely to excel in that pursuit, and are more likely to be able to attract the eye of an admissions officer at a selective college. Having good scores and good grades is not enough in the competitive world of college admissions. So don't be afraid to indulge that interest of yours--no matter how eccentric. Kids with passion will stand out in the crowd! Passion is key to college admissions, too.
