When applying to colleges and universities, students often focus on grades and standardized test scores. However, admissions officers also value well-rounded students who demonstrate a wide range of interests and abilities. Engaging in extracurricular activities can significantly enhance your college application, showcasing your passions, commitment, and personal growth.

The Value of Extracurricular Activities

Participating in extracurricular activities allows students to pursue their interests outside the classroom, develop leadership and teamwork skills, and contribute positively to their communities. Whether it's playing a sport, participating in a club, volunteering, or taking part in theater or music, extracurricular activities demonstrate a student's initiative, commitment, and passion.

Choosing Your Activities

When choosing extracurricular activities, consider your interests and future goals. Choose activities that you genuinely enjoy and in which you can demonstrate commitment and achievement.

Depth vs. Breadth

While participating in a wide range of activities can show diverse interests, depth of involvement in one or two activities can often carry more weight in the admissions process. A long-term commitment to an activity, especially in a leadership role, shows dedication, passion, and the ability to follow through on commitments.

Presenting Your Activities

When it comes time to include your activities in your college applications, be sure to communicate not just what you did, but also what you learned, achieved, and contributed through your participation.
