CollegeAdvisor.com will cover how to connect NSHSS opportunities, scholarships, events, leadership roles, and service initiatives to your broader application narrative, as well as how to present your involvement on activities lists, essays, and supplemental questions. Families will also gain clarity on how NSHSS fits into a competitive admissions strategy and how students can use the organization as a platform for growth rather than a résumé line.
