Summer Time!

Many parents and students inquire about what summer activity is most pleasing to the admissions gods. Everyone is itching for something specific, and I hate to disappoint, but the answer is: Anything. Something. Were genuinely not that picky about how you fill your summer time. Nor is it necessarily time that needs to be ?filled. It is summer, after all. Time can be well spent in pure relaxation and reflection. That said, the summer can be productively geared toward pursuits that make you happy and, someday (though this should be a secondary consideration), helps an admissions committee understand you and your motivations. In your hyper-scheduled existences, the summer is a 2 to 3 month clean slate. Use it wisely.
