From an admissions perspective, a strong academic profile alone is not enough to gain admission into highly selective colleges and universities. Applicants must convey to admissions committees a purposeful commitment to involvement and leadership outside the classroom. AcceptU will provide guidance and insight on how your child can make the most of their summer. In this webinar you and your child will learn:
- Why summer activities matter to admissions officers.
- How leadership is judged.
- Common misconceptions when it comes to involvement outside the classroom.
- Why admissions committees have re-evaluated the term “well-rounded.”
