Join Collegewise on Tuesday, March 4 at 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET to learn how your student can make an impact with their activities and catch the attention of colleges.

Did you know the Common App allows 10 activity slots while the UC App offers 20?

It’s not about filling every slot—it’s about helping your teen discover what they truly enjoy and pursuing activities that feel meaningful, not just what “looks good” on an application.

Colleges want to understand who your child really is, but how do you showcase that in an application?

Join us for a special webinar with Benito Nishizawa Rodriguez, a former Harvard Admissions Interviewer with 17+ years of experience. He’ll share expert insights and actionable strategies to help your student stand out.

 

In this webinar, you'll learn:

• How to make activities shine: Turn everyday experiences—like clubs, jobs, or volunteering—into stories that impress admissions officers.
• Why leadership doesn’t need a title: Learn simple ways to showcase initiative, creativity, and impact without being “president” of anything.
• The perfect balance: Tips for highlighting a mix of interests that show both passion and purpose.

 

BONUS: This session will include a live Q&A with Benito, so bring your questions about activities!
