I'm thinking about joining my school's HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) club. Would participating in HOSA be seen as a valuable extracurricular activity by colleges? Can it help demonstrate my interest in the healthcare field?
Yes, joining HOSA can be a valuable extracurricular activity for your college applications, especially if you're considering a career in healthcare. Being involved in HOSA will showcase your interest in the field and your commitment to the study of health-related subjects. It may be considered a Tier 3 or Tier 4 extracurricular, depending on your level of involvement and accomplishments in the club.
To get the most out of your HOSA experience, try to take on leadership roles within the club and participate in competitions or community service projects. Colleges will look for your dedication and impact within the club, so make sure to go above and beyond the basic membership. Good luck with your participation in HOSA, and I hope this helps you in your college application process!
