We can boost our resilience by...

It is okay to include mistakes you have made on your college application.

Resilient people often overreact

Students who don't care about popularity are the least affected by peer pressure.

Colleges want students to be perfect.

Laughing when you are upset and make a mistake is a bad idea.

Students in classes with higher-performing peers are less likely to sign up for SAT prep classes.

We can control everything that happens in our lives.

Students that want to be popular are more influenced by their peers in a negative way.

Colleges want students that have resilience.

Students sitting with lower-performing peers were less likely to sign up for SAT prep classes if the sign up is public.
