14 Tips For Sharing Your Activities on College Applications By: Jessica Velasco

College admissions can be competitive, especially when you are applying to highly selective schools. In addition to your essay, your activities can help you stand out from the crowd.

However, college applications do not provide a lot of space to share your information. Therefore, it is important to be strategic when listing and describing your activities.

But these differences go beyond just a greater dependence on technology. Gen Z-ers tend to embrace social learning environments, where they can be hands-on and directly involved in the learning process. They expect on-demand services that are available at any time and with low barriers to access. And they tend to be more career-focused earlier on in their college careers.
