Can participating in a choir be considered as an extracurricular activity?

Hello everyone! I'm a high school junior and I've been part of my school's choir for two years. Does this count as an extracurricular activity on college applications? I've put quite a lot of time and effort into it, so I hope it counts for something. Thanks!

Hello! Absolutely, participation in your school's choir can be an excellent extracurricular activity to list on your college applications. Colleges are looking for well-rounded students who engage in various activities beyond the classroom, and being part of a choir demonstrates commitment, teamwork, and passion for the arts.

Not only can this activity add diversity to your application, but it also showcases your dedication to something you've pursued for an extended period. Additionally, if you've had any leadership roles within the choir or participated in special performances and competitions, be sure to highlight these achievements as well.

Remember, colleges like to see applicants excel both academically and personally, and your involvement in the choir is a great way to demonstrate that. Best of luck with your applications and keep up the good work in choir!
