Hi everyone, I have a part-time job after school, and I'm wondering if that can be considered an extracurricular activity for my college applications? Thanks for any input you can provide!
Hello! Absolutely, a part-time job can be considered an extracurricular activity for your college applications. Colleges appreciate seeing a diverse range of activities, and having a job demonstrates responsibility, work ethic, and time management skills.
Make sure to highlight your job on your application and explain the skills you've gained from it. In some cases, it might even help differentiate you from other applicants with more traditional extracurriculars. Good luck with your application process!
