The College Board Recommends Reasons to get Involved in Extracurricular Activities
Life Outside the Classroom - Sure, life in school is pretty interesting. You've got algebraic equations, Bunsen burners, sentence diagrams... but chances are, you've got commitments outside of school, too. Maybe you have a part time job, play in a band, are on a sports team, or do volunteer work.
Colleges Care - The good news is that colleges pay attention to your life both inside and outside the classroom. Yes, your academics probably come first, but your activities reveal a great deal about you, like whether you have made a contribution or what your non-academic interests are or whether you can maintain a commitment.
Maintaining a Balance - Keep in mind, colleges are not interested in seeing you "do it all." "We're looking for a commitment to and a passion for an activity outside of the academic setting—we're looking for depth rather than breadth," explains Nancy Tessier, a college admission director, “They want to see your individuality—and your consistent commitment.”
Haven't Gotten Involved Yet? - Lots of school, community, and religious organizations give you chances to explore your interests and talents. If you haven't felt drawn into something yet, there's no shortage of opportunities for you to explore.
Community Service
You can also gain skills and experience through volunteer work, such as by tutoring elementary school kids or spending time at a local hospital. Some schools even offer academic credit for volunteer work.
