When it comes to college admissions, it doesn’t get more important than high school summers. While other students might be relaxing by the pool or going to the movies, this is your time to get ahead, to make valuable additions to your candidacy, and to get yourself one step closer to the college of your dreams. One of the best ways to do so is by taking one of the many available summer courses for high school students.

During the beginning of your second semester or third quarter at your high school, you should start making a concrete plan for your upcoming summer. While there is a multitude of options—from internships to summer jobs to debate camps—spending your time doing something that you are passionate about, that will be relevant to your likely course of study, and that will eventually support your application persona (or theme to your application) is of the utmost importance.

If you are a student with a serious academic interest or a clear idea of what your dream school is, taking a summer course at a university is a great idea. Nothing says “this student is interested in poetry” like taking a course on poetry at a college over the summer (in addition to writing and publishing your own poems, of course). Nothing says “I want to go to Yale” like taking summer courses at Yale and working to build relationships with Yale professors.
