Answered

Hi! I am a current high school junior who is looking for some extracurricular ideas to strengthen my application. I have interests in psychology, working with children, medicine, and writing. If you know any online organizations I could get involved in or not so common ideas on how to pursue these interests, I would really appreciate it.

I would apply to as many local hospital volunteer programs as you can, they look good for everything even outside of college apps

I believe if you wanted to pursue something with psychology, I would suggest maybe a psychologist, counselor, or even a social worker. If you like to work with children, I would suggest some type of teacher. If you have an interest in medicine, I would suggest any type of job in the medical field that you would enjoy. If you enjoy writing, I would suggest an author, writer, or editor.
