Admissions Expertise What do college students wish they'd done differently in high school? So many college students wish they could go back in time and change one or two major things. Some would say I just wish I had taken 9th grade more seriously. Others say I wish I had used my summers more productively and gotten even more active in extracurriculars and community service. While even others wish they had taken harder classes and gotten help earlier in the year when challenges in key classes occur. Finally others wish they had taken their SAT and ACT readiness more seriously. You can make a change. Follow passions. Take your work and life seriously. Don't look back with any regrets.
