Activities & Accomplishments
Rest assured that your extra-curricular activities will never be taken at face value. Our holistic evaluation goes well beyond counting clubs, aggregating hours spent, or tallying leadership positions. We recognize these as your talents, passions, and goals that you will bring with you to our campus – and one day – use to make an impact.

These are some of the ways we identified ambition, determination, and curiosity – the qualities that define Spiders before they ever set foot on our campus. Don’t see yourself in these experiences?
