Hey there! I've been in my school's choir for a few years now and I'm wondering if that's considered an extracurricular activity when applying for college? Do colleges usually view choir as a valuable activity?
Hello! Absolutely, being in choir is considered an extracurricular activity for college applications. Colleges generally appreciate the dedication and skills involved in participating in a choir, as it demonstrates teamwork, commitment, and creativity.
It's important to remember that colleges tend to look for well-rounded applicants who can contribute to their campus community. Participating in a choir shows that you have interests outside of academics and have honed your musical talents. This not only makes your application more interesting, but it also showcases your ability to balance various commitments.
To give more insight into your choir experience, consider detailing any achievements or significant events during your time in the choir, such as competitions, concerts, or leadership roles. Don't hesitate to mention it in your application, and be proud of your involvement!
