Can reading be considered an extracurricular activity?

I'm an avid reader and have been involved with my school's book club, as well as participated in reading challenges outside of school. When I'm applying to college, would listing reading as an extracurricular activity be acceptable? Really appreciate any advice on this!

Absolutely! Reading can definitely be considered an extracurricular activity. Since you have been involved in your school's book club and participated in reading challenges outside of school, this shows commitment and passion for reading – qualities that colleges appreciate in their applicants.

When listing reading as an extracurricular activity on your application, make sure to highlight your involvement in the book club and your participation in reading challenges. This way, you can demonstrate not just a personal interest in reading but also a level of engagement in related activities.
