How to best develop extracurriculars for college applications

     What can you do if you don’t feel your scores are strong enough for your top choices? Or are you looking to stand out from other piano-playing, speech and debating, state-level swimmers?

     A student’s choice of extracurricular activities and the experiences they have therein can inform an admissions officer about them much more than test scores or a GPA.

This seminar will cover:

  • Changing admissions standards for Bay Area students
  • Pursuing the activities that you genuinely enjoy
  • Reflecting and writing on your experiences
  • The value of standing out in the admissions process
  • What extracurriculars look like for students outside the Bay Area
  • Differences in focus between large research universities and liberal arts colleges
  • The effect of your high school extracurriculars on your college career

Time:4:30 – 6:30pm, Sunday,  7/20/2014

Speakers:

Eddie Zhang is a SpringLight Education’s college counselor and a Bay Area native.  He recently graduated from Swarthmore College, where he studied cognition. In high school, he played lead roles in theater productions, published poetry, and won a national championship in cycling. One of his college essays made an admissions officer cry.

Mia Ferguson is a senior at Swarthmore College where she is an engineering and anthropology major. She is a graduate of the prestigious all-girls Winsor School in Boston, MA. In high school, she founded and ran her own watersports instruction business, was president of the Boston Children’s Chorus, and was at one point the #1 ranked water skiier in the nation for her division.
