Many students are aware that extracurricular activities are important, but it’s only after missing out on a scholarship or an offer from a university that the true weight of this importance becomes clear. In reality, most students who receive high scholarships or gain admission to prestigious institutions have strong extracurricular involvement. These very activities are what make their applications stand out from the competition.
Many students are eager to join extracurricular activities but are unsure where to start, what to do, how to do it, how much is enough, and the necessary level of involvement to achieve their goals.
