It was a very personal experience where I was encouraged to pursue my interests. If you’re wondering about how effective the process is, I would say that I accomplished more than I expected and got into schools that would have been out of my reach otherwise.

Activity Sheet Completion Guide
Letter of Recommendation Guidance
How an extra-curricular activity sheet is presented can be as important as the activities and accomplishments it lists. We advise what activities and honors to include and how to best explain them on a resume or the "Activity Sheet" portion of an application.
Letter of recommendation can further personalize an applicant. Unfortunately, many letters of recommendation are unremarkable. Obtaining the most helpful letters of recommendation is more involved than just asking for them. We provide guidance on counselor, teacher, and other recommender based submissions to obtain the strongest letters possible.
