How to Help Your Student Stand Out Without Overloading Their Schedule
Parents often feel pressure to keep their student involved in every club, sport, or activity under the sun. But piling on commitments isn’t the key to standing out—it’s about depth, impact, and intentionality.
At Diversified College Planning, we help students build standout resumes that highlight leadership, passion, and follow-through—without burning out.
What Colleges Really Look For
Rather than sheer volume, admissions officers want to see:
-
Depth over breadth—a few focused activities pursued deeply are more impressive than 10 shallow ones
-
Leadership and initiative, not just participation
-
Passion projects, especially those that align with academic interests or community impact
How to Build a Balanced Resume
We work with students to identify their interests and choose the right mix of activities that reflect both their goals and their energy level. That may include:
-
Sports or clubs where they take on leadership roles
-
Volunteering that aligns with their intended major
-
Research, internships, or independent projects
The goal isn’t to be “busy”—it’s to be intentional.
