Extracurricular Activities Planning
Extracurriculars are the most impactful component of a US university application. We plan them systematically from Grade 8 so you stand out on all 5 honors and 10 activity slots on the Common App.
The Common App requires students to list 5 academic honors and 10 extracurricular activities. Top universities — especially those ranked highest — set increasingly strict standards for the depth, quality, and uniqueness of these activities. With nearly 20 years of guidance experience, Ivy100 helps students build high-quality extracurricular profiles from as early as Grade 8.
Why Extracurriculars Matter
The higher a university is ranked, the more it values extracurricular activities. Grades and test scores alone cannot differentiate students — admissions officers want to see breadth, depth, and genuine passion outside the classroom. A student who begins planning in Grade 8 will have years of growth and leadership to present by application time.
Our Approach
We design each student's extracurricular portfolio to be unique, deep, and aligned with their interests. Our guidance covers implementation at every stage — from helping students choose the right activities, to providing resources, to coaching them through the execution of each project so that every activity yields real results.
