Portfolio enhancement is crucial because, for admission to competitive universities, good grades are just the baseline.
Competitive applicants must also demonstrate their interests and competencies through a well-rounded portfolio. This is essential not only for standing out in the admissions process but also for personal development.
Engaging in extracurricular activities allows students to explore beyond the standard curriculum and grow holistically. Besides specialised competencies, many skills developed through these activities, such as leadership, resilience, and problem-solving, are essential life skills that are often more impactful in the long term than academic knowledge alone.
