In this episode, Lisa and Lee discuss:
- Why it’s a myth your teen’s college application needs 10 extracurriculars.
- Creative ways to demonstrate leadership beyond traditional titles.
- Ideas for furthering your teen’s leadership experiences, whether they’re just starting high school or beginning their college application process.
- How to think about your teen’s activities list as newspaper headlines.
- The importance of doing an extracurricular audit for your teen.
Key Takeaways:
- Your student does not need to have 10 separate activities. Admissions counselors understand certain activities, such as sports, take more time than others. They will want to show leadership, not just time-filling activities.
- Your teen does not need to have played a sport to be a compelling candidate on their application.
- Understanding the categories on the Common App for the activities. This will help your student see that they’ve done more than they often think they have.
- No activity is worthless if your teen learned something. But not every activity needs to be continued if it doesn’t resonate, doesn’t lead to your student’s future career, or they don’t enjoy it.
- Leadership is a lifelong pursuit, not just during your student’s high school career.
“When we look at those activities, we want to show and not tell. We want to know that 10 doesn't mean 10, and we want to be able to just account for what we did in our free time.” – Lee Norwood
