Stand Out in the College Admissions Process
Getting involved in internships and volunteering during high school is one of the most effective ways to differentiate yourself in college applications. Admissions officers look beyond grades—they value students who take initiative, explore their interests, and make a meaningful impact. Internships demonstrate your drive to learn beyond the classroom, while volunteering reflects your commitment to community and service.

At LP Education Advising, we offer personalized support to help you identify the best-fit internship and volunteer opportunities, craft compelling college essays that tell your unique story, and secure strong letters of recommendation that reflect your values and potential.
