Stand Out from the Pack: Extracurriculars for US & UK University Applicants

From TOEFL preparation to essay writing, a lot of preparation is required when applying to overseas universities.

Did you know that "extracurricular activities" play a very important role in this process? Especially in the U.S., it is said that extracurricular activities account for about 30% of the acceptance criteria.

In recent years, as the academic level of applicants has risen, the importance of extracurricular activities has increased even more, and more unique activities are required. It is important to reflect on one's own values and vision for the future, and to polish them up through engaging in such fields.

In this webinar, our expert staff will teach you how to tackle such extracurricular activities and how to make a practical plan!
