Colleges Prioritize Skills Over Marks in Admissions

Colleges are now looking at more than just grades when admitting students.

They want to see what students can do outside of school, like building websites, doing research, or helping in their communities.

A good portfolio showing these activities can be just as important as good grades.

Skills like teamwork and problem-solving are also valued.

Certifications in areas like coding or digital marketing can make a student's application stronger.

This change means students should focus on both their grades and gaining practical experiences to be well-rounded candidates for college.
