Spend time with your counselor so they get to know you personally. Take advantage of college visits to connect with reps. If they are not coming to SAS, you should go to them on a college tour? http://www.internationalcounselor.org/archives/1729shapeimage_2_link_0

The ESTP needs a more practical environment, where they can apply themselves and see tangible results.
