With college admissions becoming increasingly competitive, many students feel pressured to "do it all" when it comes to extracurriculars. But is that really what colleges are looking for? In our latest podcast episode, we uncover the reality behind how admissions officers evaluate student activities.


You'll learn:



  • How admissions officers evaluate what students actually contribute to their activities—not just participation

  • The value of demonstrating academic interest beyond the classroom through research, pre-college programs, or independent projects

  • Why leadership isn’t just about holding a title, but about adding value and making an impact


This episode is a must-listen for parents and students through the admissions process.
