What are some of the best extra-curriculars and classes to take for a higher chance of admission?
Answered

Right now I'm in 9th grade. I'm currently playing club hockey, I am part of the non-auditioned choir at my school this year and I'm doing the intermediate choir next year. I also am part of our school's broadcasting team.

Hi! Just based on research I have done, colleges truly like seeing your passions and interests reflected in your extracurriculars. There is not one club that will get you into a college versus another. If you are very interested in a particular extracurricular and find a way to make an impact there, colleges will greatly respect that.
