Advice to Applicants
Don't let the number "games" hinder your approach when completing college applications. A true and thorough college application should demonstrate and explain overall writing abilities, time-management skills, career interests/goals and life-learning experiences. Be assertive on your application - it's a unique quality that admissions counselors absolutely LOVE to see!
