Hello! I've been practicing yoga for a few years now and have even participated in some local workshops. Is yoga something I can include as an extracurricular activity on my college applications, or should I focus on other more traditional activities to build up my extracurricular list? Any advice would be great, thank you!
Hello there! It's definitely okay to list yoga as an extracurricular activity on your college applications. Colleges appreciate well-rounded candidates who have a variety of interests, and it's great that you have something you're passionate about! Your involvement in workshops is also worth mentioning, as it shows dedication and a willingness to be involved in your community.
Certainly balance your list with some other traditional activities as well, but don't shy away from including yoga. Higher institutions prefer applicants who showcase their authentic selves in their applications.
Good luck with your applications, and keep embracing your interests!
