Extracurriculars?
Answered

I’m a junior in high school with a 1300 SAT and a 3.7 GPA, but I’m lacking on extracurriculars. I play sports, am a member of student government, and am a member of two clubs. Any suggestions for other things I could do this summer? Thanks!

(PS looking to major in allied health/rehab and then a master’s in athletic training)

- Volunteer at a hospital

- Shadow healthcare workers (physical therapist) or athletes [Try to be an active participant by assisting them at their workplace or taking notes/asking questions]

- Part Time Job

- Tutor or teach kids the sport you play in your community for free or maybe paid

- Passion Project (come up with innovative ways to translate your hobbies into activities that serve the community) Ex: Someone into gardening might start a community garden. Or cook organic dishes with these ingredients and distribute them to homeless shelters.

Good Luck!!

Judging from how you're already involved in 5 activities I wouldn't say you necessarily need more extracurriculars. But if there is an opportunity to do something medically related (especially if it can have a relation to the two sports you're in) that would definitely help. Even something as simple as being cpr certified or being a active lifeguard I would recommend. Hope this helps :)
