Previous Episode: Ep. 35 - College and Pop Culture - what the college experience looks like in movies

Next Episode: Ep. 37 - Valuing your student's passion and joy in the college search process

We have a short episode today with Jen talking about what five areas to include when helping your student craft their activities list on the application. Those area, or lenses to use when deciding what should be included, are

Commitment,Leadership, Service, Prestige, and Passion.

The activities list, like the college essay, helps admissions counselors answer the question, what will this student bring to the campus community. How will they add to what we have here? By guiding your student to consider all of their high school activity through these lenses, you'll help them share what's most meaningful to them and to admissions.
