If you want to set your student profile apart from the crowd, you have to have extracurriculars. But not all high school supplementary activities are created equal. Here are a few extracurriculars that take things a step further and give you an even greater chance of getting an acceptance letter from the university of your choice.
- Internships – Set out on your career path even before you take the next step in your education journey. An internship can give you real-life experience in your chosen field and help you make connections that could lead to ongoing work after school.
- Sports – Of course, the top athletes in the nation will have no problem getting an acceptance letter to a school that focuses on sports programs. However, even if you are a hobbyist, playing sports in high school can boost your student profile. Sports can show a dedication to health and hobbies, and team sports can also reveal your ability to cooperate with others.
- Volunteering – Doing something good for the community without expecting anything back is a good way to show the sort of character you have, and this is something else sought after by universities.
