how to fill out the BEST common app activities section | + free spreadsheet

Welcome to a very detailed guide on how to fill out the common app activities section. This is my area of expertise within college admissions consulting, and I am so excited to share what I know with you! Today I teach you all of my tips, strategies, and my unique writing formula to help make your activities section stand out. The activities section and extracurricular activities are super important, especially if you’re aiming to get into super competitive schools like the Ivy League.

All the best, you got this!
