Hi everyone! I'm a high school junior, and I have a lot of extracurricular activities that I'm involved in. I know I can't include them all on my college application, so how do I decide which ones to highlight? Any advice would be appreciated!
Hey there! It's great that you're involved in so many extracurricular activities. When it comes to choosing which ones to include on your college application, I recommend focusing on the activities that you are most passionate about and have been most dedicated to. Colleges are interested in seeing your commitment, leadership skills, and the impact you've made in those areas. Think about which activities have helped you grow, allowed you to take on leadership roles, or made a difference in your community. It's better to show depth in a few activities rather than listing many activities with little involvement. Also, don't forget to consider any awards or accomplishments you've achieved in these activities, as they can further demonstrate your dedication and skills. Best of luck with your college applications!
