Extracurricular activities in high school?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:This all depends on what types of colleges he plans to apply to. Some colleges want a lot of diverse extracurricular activities and others don’t care so much. In addition, having a leadership position would be useful, but not mandatory. As an example, I played varsity soccer (but was no star) and had some other fluff for extracurriculars, and I was accepted into the Honors Program at a state school. My younger brother had no sports activities, but was involved in debate, academic olympics and yearbook (he was the editor) and he went to an Ivy League school (of course, he was also Valedictorian, so that helped a bit ;-) Good luck to you and your son.
