Do you think you know what top colleges want to see in applicants' extracurricular profiles?
Think again. Chances are, you're not being nearly ambitious enough with your current extracurriculars. Did you know that 80% of Harvard applicants meet the academic requirements to get in? So, how do you really stand out in a sea of applicants?
Our partner Prequel has cracked the code: 80% of their alumni attend T20 schools and they're sharing their secrets in a free 1-hour workshop where you'll get to hear from Erica, a Prequel alumni who was accepted into seven Ivies, MIT, and Stanford.
