What Extracurricular Activities Do Ivy League Colleges Look For? | HuffPost

Are you a leader? The most selective colleges are looking for significant leadership roles, but as with activities, there is no one position that will guarantee acceptance. Student body president, editor-in-chief of the literary magazine, varsity field hockey captain, Gold Award in Girl Scouts, concertmaster of the orchestra, Model UN head, and supermarket night manager are all examples of important and impactful leadership roles. On the flip side, less critical positions such as class representative, copy editor of the yearbook, and French Club treasurer will not be seen in the same light by Ivy League admissions officers.

Compared to analytical psychotherapy approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy is a short-term treatment. But there is also no standard length of cognitive behavioral therapy. Some people already feel much better after a few sessions, while others need treatment for several months. 

Cognitive behavioral therapy - Mayo Clinic

Length of therapy

CBT is generally considered short-term therapy — ranging from about five to 20 sessions. You and your therapist can discuss how many sessions may be right for you. Factors to consider include:

Type of disorder or situation

Severity of your symptoms

How long you've had your symptoms or have been dealing with your situation

How quickly you make progress

How much stress you're experiencing

How much support you receive from family members and other people
