I am a rising senior, and I just came to the realization that it’s too late to sign up for any more summer programs. I have signed up for 2 programs that I am not sure if I will be attending, since they are really specific to a field that I am not sure I will be going into (actuarial science). My mother had also signed me up for a study abroad/enrichment experience kind of thing- in China for 2 weeks in June.
What else can I do over the summer that is both impressive/ outstanding but also, more importantly, enriching to me as a student ?
I know this is kind of late but just… do what you love. Don’t enroll in a program for college apps. You could start a fundraiser related to things you love or see if you can start a business related to it. Maybe offer to teach a skill/subject to peers. I have found that helping people out through tutoring is quite enriching to me as a student because it shows that I have mastered course material and have the social skills to impart knowledge to others.
Agree-stop looking for college-pleasers and find things you thing are a valuable use of your time.
