Involvement / Interests
Your child’s involvement in extra-curricular activities and volunteer experiences are important for acceptance into college. Clubs and sports teach children a great deal about themselves and help them with social development and teamwork. Colleges are also interested in your child’s interests, talents and skills. These qualities and experiences will not only help your child to become a unique individual, but will also help colleges determine what makes your son or daughter exceptional and likely to succeed in higher education. In fact, your child’s talents and skills may even help pay for college through talent-based scholarships or grants.
