Many of you will wait until the very last second before you open the Common Application. It's a terrible idea.

I'm guilty of it too - that's what my secret guide to Harvard admissions is all about - how to make yourself sound like an amazing candidate in the months that you have left. And if you follow my five steps below, I guarantee that it will help you get into Harvard, Princeton, or Stanford.

1) Take a deep and long breath, because you're about to work harder than you ever have. You only have a few months - I'll show you how to use it in a smart way

2) Be extremely busy in your last summer before senior year. College admissions officers look at this summer very closely to see how you spend your time. What are you really passionate about? MAKE SURE you spend time developing those interests in productive ways

3) If you don't have a strong GPA or class ranking, you have to start immediately showing improvement. That's the key. Get good grades in every class. Here's a secret - take college classes over the summer to show that you can do well on the college level. It's impressive to admissions committees.

4) Treat the Common Application like the Bible. Spend hundreds of hours pouring your soul into your essays, convincing teachers to write great recommendations, and making sure your supplemental info is perfect

5) Think of yourself as a salesman. You need to convince admissions committees that you're the right candidate. This means showing yourself in the best light possible - highlighting and exaggerating accomplishments if needed

The above should get you to a great start. Focus on your story and your passions - particularly if you're a come-from-behind candidate. Only by telling a unique, interesting story about your life will you stand a chance at getting into Princeton or Yale.

Good luck!
