Dear Senior,
Colleges like to see how involved you are with the school, how much you take advantage of the many resources that they have to offer. A good way to do this is to look on the App Store and download the college's app. These range from Undergraduate Admissions apps to Self-Guided Tour apps. Regardless, I recommend you download them. If you can reference them on your application or an interview, it will show colleges that you are very involved; you keep a constant reminder of the college on your phone. A warning note, however: do not make it sound like your life consists of your phone and only your phone. When applying for college, you should greater concerns than Candy Crush and Facebook. Downloading a college app means you make good use of your very distracting phone.
Best of luck,
