How students’ summer activities can help them STAND OUT in the college application process
As your teen is preparing to apply to college, what are they most concerned about? Having a great GPA, SAT/ACT, what courses they’re taking, extracurriculars they’re involved in, writing their college essays…but what about what they’re doing outside the classroom setting? What are they doing when they’re not in class…are they spending their time wisely? What are they doing during those summer breaks from school?
Making good use of summer months is often overlooked by students. But if they can use that time deliberately, not just as downtime, they have an opportunity to grow, develop, and set themselves apart from what other students are doing. Jake Schwartzwald, Associate Director of Everything Summer, shares how to make the best use of that time over those summer months. Join us to learn…

- How college admissions offices evaluate summer activities and programs on students’ applications
