Plan Your Extracurricular Activities For the Year.
Participate in extracurricular activities that will make next year’s
college applications look great.
Suggested activities include:
- Join school clubs and organizations that interest you. Don’t
sign up for clubs you really don’t care about just to increase
the number of activities on your student
résumé. Instead,
devote your time to two, three, or four activities in which you can
be outstanding. Take leadership roles in the organizations you
join; colleges want students that demonstrate leadership, commitment
and initiative. Don’t just sleep through club meetings,
actively contribute and be a leader
- Participate in athletics as an athlete, athletic trainer,
or coaching assistant.
- Sign up for community
volunteer work.
- Plan to compete in contests and competitions (such as the
local Rotary Club’s annual speech contest). |
