Students want to do everything they can to build a profile that will catch the attention of college admissions officers. Extracurriculars show you are willing to go the extra mile to stand out from the crowd. Here are some of the best extracurricular activities to give your student profile the little extra boost that may just result in an acceptance letter.
- Internships – Internships show a university that you are already working toward your career goals and intent to blend hands-on experience with education.
- Volunteer work – Any sort of community service will impress a school with your spirit of cooperation for the benefit of those around you. It shows you are the type of person they want on their campus.
- School Clubs – School clubs, especially if they are related to your field of study, show your dedication and that you are willing to give up free time in order to pursue your goals.
- Sports – Of course, this is the most important extracurricular if you are an athlete and are hoping for scholarships. However, even if sports are not your main focus, being a team player is always something positive to have on your student profile.
