Whether that means a sport, a club, arts or hobbies, even a job or internship, fi nding a passion outside of the classroom is a healthy way to grow socially and provides a release from the stress of academics. One more valuable reason for engaging? Your extracurric- ular activities can help ease your way into college. According to the blog Prep Scholar, extracurricular activities are a vital guide for college admissions offi cers to gauge the total student. Fortunately, what they’re looking for is predictable, experts at the site report. The Activity is Not Important; Your Passion for it Is According to Prep Scholar, college admissions offi cers are not as concerned with what your extracurricular activity is as they are with three specifi c things: passion, leader- ship and impact. Each of these elements are important because they paint a portrait of a well-rounded, engaged student who can contribute to the community while pursuing personal and sometimes professional development. Freshman Year: Extracurricular Exploration If you haven’t yet tried out an extracurricular activity, the site recommends trying as many as possible without interfering with your studies. Exposure to many activities can lead to discovering interests you never knew you had. Your freshman year can be a year of extra- curricular exploration to guide you to your passion. Sophomore Year: Narrow Your Focus If you’ve found one or more activities that interest and excite you, you’re on your way in your sophomore year. You’ll naturally develop passions for at least one activity. In turn, you’ll check-off the other boxes — impact and leadership, even if you simply take a stand- out role in a small project. Junior and Senior Year: Leadership and Impact As you progress through your high school years and become more involved in your ex- tracurricular activity, your fi nal years are the time to help grow and better your chosen activity. It’s also a time to refl ect on your own growth as a person and how your interests have impacted your life and education so far. Do’s and Don’ts While the intent is to blend your extracurricular experience into one element of an at- tractive package for a college admission offi cer, it’s worth noting that the site also advises balance and recommends some do’s and don’ts in pursuit of your goals. Do let your activities tell your story. Th ey should naturally expose your passions and per- sonality through your growing skills and dedication. Don’t take summer off . If you’re not working during summer breaks, stay involved. Th e time away from classes can further your involvement and growth. Don’t let grades suff er. Immersion in an activity will never take the place of good grades. Cut back on your outside endeavors if you fi nd this is the case. Don’t get burned out. Extracurricular activities should inspire, not stress you out. Th ey should also be fun and mix easily with your academic life. If you fi nd you are participating in too many activities, or ones that don’t particularly suit you, focus on the ones you’re most passionate about.
