Thousands of students apply for the same school, how should I get myself noticed?

We just did a blog post about this exact question, check it out for specific details on how you can get noticed by schools: https://collegemapper.com/how-to-get-noticed-by-colleges/ Another way you can stand out is by using our new tool Stack Up to select schools to apply to. Stack Up allows you to see the number of students applying from your high school to any colleges listed on your college list in CollegeMapper. The fewer students applying to a school, the greater your chances are of getting in.
