Building a Compelling Extracurricular Profile with a Former Stanford Admissions Officer

Join Collegewise on Wednesday, January 28 at 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET to kick off the year by learning how your student can turn their activities into meaningful impact in the college admissions process.

 

Ideal for families with teens in grades 7-11!

Is your teen’s activity list truly helping them, or just filling space?

Between school, clubs, sports, and volunteering, many students stay busy. But when it comes to college admissions, being busy is not the same as being compelling.

In this webinar, Daniel Chung, former Admissions Officer at Stanford, Rice, and Swarthmore (who has reviewed more than 10,000 applications), will share how your teen can develop a standout activities profile.

You'll discover:

  • How to choose and shape activities so they reflect your teen’s genuine interests rather than checking boxes
  • How students can demonstrate leadership, initiative, and impact even without holding formal titles
  • How to use school breaks and summers strategically to explore interests through projects, programs, research, or work experiences
  • How admissions officers evaluate extracurriculars at selective colleges and what types of experiences really stand out

🎓 PLUS: Live Q&A with Daniel
Start the year with confidence by bringing your questions and getting direct insight from someone who has made admissions decisions from the other side of the table.
