Good advice is good advice, whether it is intended for your future career or your college search, and the information in this article from The Savy Intern applies to high school students as well. To put it in very simple terms: every applicant to college has a high school degree; it's the other stuff you do while you're there that also counts. Colleges, like employers, want to know who you are as a person, what contributions you will make to the campus (or office), what extracurricular skills you have developed.
There are many opportunities at GPS and beyond to get involved. Take a risk, explore something new, volunteer, start a new club. Don't just sit there and do nothing!
