Dear Mercury,
I want to get into a college that is listed as very difficult. What can I do to improve my chances?

Dear Worried Junior,
Your grades are the most important thing with college, but colleges also look at your extra curriculum. So try to get into lots of clubs and look for a sport you like and go for it. You can also do volunteer work, colleges look at that, too. Colleges get a lot of applications so as they’re looking through, they look for the most qualified people. Good luck!!!
