College admissions have never been more competitive than they are today. Grade inflation has skyrocketed, and the possibility of earning a 4.5 GPA when the scale officially goes up to only 4.0 is a reality of the world you are competing in.

As a student today, you are expected to do more than study: you have to show leadership in a number of activities outside of your classes as well. But remember— you are the responsible one!
