USM universities also look at other criteria to evaluate your college application such as:
- Advanced level work—such as Advanced Placement courses—that you have taken
- Academic electives
- Performance on high school assessment tests
- Trends in your course performance and grades
- Citizenship, volunteer, leadership, and extracurricular activities
- Special talents, such as music, dance, theater, and athletics
- Unique circumstances and obstacles that you have overcome in your life
You do not have to be strong in all areas, but a mixture helps. So take a good look at yourself. Discover and explore your talents, take elective courses, get involved in clubs, volunteer, or pursue other extracurricular interests. Like your coursework, these steps are an important part of your Way2Go.
