How to get ahead of other high school students.

Hi,

I will be graduating from high school in EU this year. I'll probably go to study at a semi-target university in continental Europe (think RSM/HSG).

What extra activities should I take, what courses and certifications should I take, and what skills should I learn in the next 9 months to get ahead of other high school students and maximize my chances of getting Spring Week? Perhaps you recommend any online courses or certificates that would increase my chance of getting a Spring Week offer? Or maybe I should learn programming or another language? Thanks in advance!

 

Go out with friends, talk to girls, have as much fun as possible. You will never get the time you have right now back, enjoy it!

 

Does this spring week prep grind start in nursery nowadays?

 

Have fun, have friends, spend time outside and enjoy beeing young.
