The Extracurricular Activities Profile

(26:53)

Colleges aren’t terribly picky about how you spend your down time, as long as you’re doing something meaningful. They may not know if you spend hours upon hours playing video games, but they will certainly notice a lack of notable activities on your college application.Do you need a long list of stellar accomplishments to receive a college acceptance? How do you demonstrate to the admission committee some level of accomplishment, initiative, commitment, and leadership?

On this College Smart Radio program, I discuss how to create a good solid extracurricular profile with my guest Eddie LaMeire, an independent college consultant and the owner of LaMeire College Consulting, in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Remember that college educations come at all levels of cost, and that research, good planning and financial aid may reduce that cost.
