College Extracurricular Activities

Prospective university students are up against increasing standards. More than impeccable grades and test scores, successful applicants must excel in a specific, and ideally, unique area. You must be a specialist to snag a coveted spot at an elite school.

Extracurricular Activity Strategy

Bentham’s team of expert consultants, all graduates from top universities, know how to stand out against a backdrop of thousands of intellectually qualified applicants. We translate your admissions goals into specific, compelling college extracurricular activities that separate you from the rest of the field and maximize your admissions odds.

 

Our consultants know the best college application extracurriculars, especially when it comes to extracurriculars for Ivy League colleges. We help you develop a tailored strategy for your summers and school years that fits your interests and ensures you emerge with an edge that appeals to exclusive colleges.

At Bentham, We Use Proven Strategies To Ensure Your Extracurricular Activities Demonstrate:
