Social Extracurricular Activities

June 29th, 2007 by Paul

If you look on the common application there is a huge section for Extracurricular, Personal, and Volunteer activities.

I strongly encourage you to find something that you are interested in and volunteer. Remember consistency is more important than trying many different things. Ideally you want to do one or two things for three years and a few random ones just for experience.

From these activities you need to show what you learned and experienced.

You can always do a search on the internet, listed below are a few that came to mind when I was surfing the internet.

You can find a lot of different activities on the internet. My only recommendation is to do your DUE DILIGENCE- meaning make sure it’s not a scam or something really bad.
