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.

The activities and accomplishments below represent more than just the breadth and depth of involvement for the Class of 2027. 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? Don’t worry – we know you may demonstrate these qualities in different ways. We can’t wait to see them.
