Activities List 101
Turn your extracurriculars into application gold in just 90 minutes.
Live session: Wednesday, July 30 | 1.5 hours | Zoom
The Common App’s Activities section might look simple, but making the most of those 150 characters per entry takes strategy. In this focused, 90-minute workshop, students will learn how to present their experiences clearly, powerfully, and in a way that supports the rest of their application.
We'll cover:
What colleges are really looking for in the Activities List
How to choose and order activities strategically
Tips for writing strong descriptions in limited space
Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)
Real examples + live feedback opportunities
Perfect for students who:
Struggle to describe what they’ve done without “just listing”
Aren’t sure how to order their activities (or which ones to include)
Want a second edge on their application after finishing their essay
Students MUST have completed the Personal Statement Studio in order to be eligible for Activities List 101.
Turn your extracurriculars into application gold in just 90 minutes.
