Extracurriculars &
Internships For
High School
Students
The competitive landscape of college admissions is ever-evolving, demanding more than just stellar grades and impressive test scores. Top universities scour applications for evidence of genuine passion, commitment, and the potential to make meaningful contributions in both college and the wider world. This is where extracurricular activities, particularly internships and research opportunities, play a pivotal role.
At Legacy College Advisors, our unique approach to sourcing these opportunities ensures our students not only pursue their passions but also stand distinctively apart from the crowd.
The Legacy Approach to Extracurriculars
Every student is unique, with individual aspirations, talents, and interests. We believe that extracurricular engagements should not be a cookie-cutter process but rather a tailored journey of discovery and growth.
Here’s how Legacy crafts this journey:
Discover Your
Passions
The first step isn’t about finding an opportunity; it’s about understanding the student. Through comprehensive discussions, our advisors delve deep into understanding each student’s passions, aspirations, and strengths.
Utilizing Our Unique
Network
Legacy’s advisors hail from top 30 universities, bringing with them a vast network of professionals, researchers, and organizations. It’s through leveraging these connections that we can source opportunities often inaccessible to the public.
Tailored Opportunities
Over Generic Ones
We don’t believe in the one-size-fits-all approach. Instead of sending students to generic internships or research roles, we find placements that resonate with the student’s academic goals and personal interests, ensuring genuine engagement and learning.
Why Extracurriculars Matter More Than Ever
Demonstrating
Commitment
Being part of an internship or research project showcases a student’s dedication to their field of interest. It indicates to universities that the student isn’t just academically inclined but is also eager to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios.
Gaining Practical
Experience
These engagements allow students to garner hands-on experience, equipping them with practical skills that classroom settings might not offer.
Making a Difference
Many of the opportunities sourced by Legacy involve projects that have real-world implications, allowing students to make meaningful contributions to their chosen fields.
Legacy's Edge

Legacy College Advisors’ commitment to providing unparalleled extracurricular opportunities is rooted in the understanding that for top-tier universities, it’s the “above and beyond” that makes the difference.

Personalized
Matchmaking
We ensure that every student is matched with opportunities that align with their passions, offering them the most enriching experience possible.
Commitment to Skill-Building
Beyond just placements, we ensure our students are prepared for these opportunities, providing guidance on how to maximize their learning and contribution during these engagements.
Building Narratives for Applications
We understand that the final goal is college admissions. Our advisors guide students on how to present these experiences in their applications, weaving compelling narratives that resonate with admissions committees.
