EP7: Extracurricular Activities for College Admissions

More clubs, more leadership titles, more lines on the résumé… that must mean a stronger college application, right? Not necessarily. In Episode 7, Lisa and Josh challenge one of the biggest myths about extracurricular activities: that more is always better.
They explain why colleges care far more about depth, initiative, growth, and impact than the number of clubs a student joins. They break down what makes an activity meaningful, why part-time jobs and family responsibilities absolutely count, and how self-directed experiences can reveal genuine curiosity and motivation.
Lisa and Josh also share practical ways students can make their activities list stronger, from using numbers to show impact to explaining what they led, built, changed, learned, and contributed. And they remind families that the activity itself is only part of the story. What matters most is the student behind it.
The bottom line: stop collecting activities just to look busy. Explore what genuinely interests you, commit to what matters, and let your experiences show colleges who you are becoming.
