Why Extracurricular Activities Matter in College Admissions

Applicants must convey to admissions committees a purposeful commitment to involvement and leadership outside the classroom. In this webinar presented by NSHSS partner AcceptU, you will learn:
- Why extracurricular and 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"
