Common questions

What extracurriculars help college applications?
Depth beats volume: a remote internship with a recommendation letter, or a competition deliverable from Activity Mentoring, is easier to verify than a long unfocused list.
How does a high school student get an internship recommendation letter?
Through Actify, a host supervisor writes a letter after reviewing your project deliverables over a 4–12 week placement.
