What Makes An Application Interesting

Starts Nov 18th, 2026 6:30pm (GMT)

Join SnapRevise and university admissions expert Dr Peter Kim for a live session where he explains what actually makes an application interesting to the person reading it: the difference between a list of activities and a genuine intellectual story, what super curricular really means, and why depth always beats breadth. He also tackles the question parents ask most, which is what is worth paying for. The honest answer is that the best of it is free, and the expensive options often read worse. Practical for Year 12 students building this now, and for Year 13 students writing it up. Live questions welcome throughout. What the webinar covers: · The difference between a list and a story why most applications read as an inventory of activities, and what the good ones do instead. · Super curricular versus extra curricular a distinction almost nobody explains properly, and the one that actually matters. · Depth beats breadth, every time one thing pursued seriously is worth more than six things sampled. · What counts, honestly reading, essay competitions, olympiads, online courses, lectures, podcasts, the EPQ, and work experience. Which of these earn their place and which are filler. · How to do this with no money and no contacts the best super curriculars are free, and the expensive ones often read worse. This matters enormously to families who feel priced out. · Reading one book properly rather than listing five. What a tutor can tell from a single sentence about a book. · The so what test it is not what you did. It is what you now think because of it. · For Year 12 how to build this deliberately over the next nine months, starting this term. · For Year 13 how to write up what you already have, when the deadline is weeks away. · For parents what to encourage, what to stop paying for, and why the impressive sounding placement often works against a candidate.
