Impressing colleges, in a nutshell

Question:
I've been wondering which is the best and strong way (besides my SAT/ACT scores) to impress a college you really want to go to so they'd accept you? Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon!

Answer:
Anyway, to impress a college, the best thing is to be unique. For me, it was a strong interest in business/social entrepreneurship. And it wasn't just interest, it was action by starting organizations. You have to have your own 'brand' that makes you stand out. If you're unique, they can't turn you down. Ultimately colleges want people who will contribute to their campus, so you have to make them see that in you.

Have you looked at the articles http://www.ineedapencil.com/Blog.aspx on the site? They answer a lot of the questions you might be asking at this point in high school.
