What extracurricular activities should I participate in if I want to get into dental school?
Q. I'm interesting in becoming a dentist when I'm older. So while I'm still in high school, what extracurricular activities (inside and outside of school) should I participate in so I can get a better understanding of what being a dentist is like? How about in university? On another note, since extracurricular activities and the "whole picture" is considered along with the dental school application, I'm wondering how students who aspire to become dentists find time to volunteer, job shadow, etc, while at the same time, excel academically. Thank you!

What extracurricular activities look best to prestigious colleges?
Q. I have two more years of high school left. I have a 4.0 GPA, and I already have several college credits in science and math and english that I completed by taking college classes at the local college in addition to my high school classes. The problem is I've been so focused on academics that I haven't done that many extracurricular activities yet, and I don't really know what to do that would look the best to these schools. Do you have any suggestions of things that would look best to Ivy League schools?

A. Ones that you start yourself. They like to see self-motivation and a genuine interest. They like most extracurriculars but love to see volunteer work in the community.

How many extracurricular/volunteer ing activities should I do if I want to get into Harvard?
Q. I am homeschooled, but I still manage to be in quite alot of stuff. I am in fifteen extracurricular activities, and ten volunteering opportunities. Do you think that is too little?
Asked by Intelfreak - Thu May 28 10:22:21 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Most top colleges ask you to list the top 5 most important activities to you. They don't want a list of 25+ activities and volunteer work because they know that most of it is just resume padding - they'd much rather see you get really involved with one or two activities than join everything out there just to make your application look good. Things that stand out are unique activities that demonstrate your commitment to the field you want to major in - like publishing a best-selling novel, starring in a Hollywood movie, getting a record contract, doing original scientific research, being a published scientist, getting a patent, running for elected office outside of school, starting a successful business or non-profit, things like that.

A. I moderate the Model United Nations (MUN) club at my school. It requires a lot of effort and can be stressful, but I've never had a student or seen any student go through an MUN conference and not want to go again the next year. Every student, no matter their academic level, has loved the experience, some more than others. In addition, through MUN you learn all the essential skills that will make you successful in later life, especially if you plan to go on to a professional career, but even if you plan to go to trade school. When I was in school I was in the drama club. Exhausting and extremely rewarding. You can't imagine the feeling of being in a cast until you have done so. It's not for everyone, but it's sooo much fun!

A. be honest and name things that you enjoy doing instead of calling them extracurricular activities... like say... in my free time i enjoy riding my bike and going swimming... stuff like that!! say you enjoy outdoor activities and think that going to this camp would not only be fun but a great, new experience...

On an application for a high school science course can I BS my extracurricular activities ?
Q. I have an application for a high school science course which I would love to take and plan on attending med school in the future (research). But the question of my extracurricular activities has me worried. I literally spend my time studying, reading the classics, sleeping & praying. I do not even have time to watch tv. Is it possible to BS this question? Or do I have to bite the bullet and get a job to prove that I want to study the sciences?

A. Anyone can be dishonest and lie on an application and probably get away with it. What does your time spent studying and praying inform you as to the morality and ethics of lying? Frankly, time spent reading the classics won't help you get in to med school. I'm glad you aren't wasting time watching TV. Get involved in extracurriculars (a "job" would be low on the list of options) if you desire the personal enrichment, not because you want resume stuffers. Besides, what you do in high school isn't going to matter a whole lot in your med school application process. Character will.

Wat extracurricular activities are gud for applying to IVY Leagues?
Q. Hi. I am wondering wat kind of extracurricular activities can help me a lot with my college app. I am aiming for UC Berkeley and IVY Leagues. I want something that is less time consuming and at the same time very beneficial to me. Any ideas?

A. terp has a good list, But on that list I would also add student council or some non-school related charitable activity such as habitat for humanity There's only one problem, any activity you choose, it's going to be time consuming The thing is when you're in high school, you're either one of those that after school hangs out with their friends OR you're one that involves themselves in school and school related activities. It's hard to find time for both, but is still possible, then again surely you'll make friends within the activites you choose.

Do California State Universities look at extracurricular activities?
Q. I know that Cal State schools are easier to get into than UC schools. With a high GPA, you're almost guaranteed a spot. My question is, do extracurricular activities even matter? I'm attending a community college right now, and I plan to transfer to CSUN because they have the major that I want. Since it's going to be the only school that I'm going to apply to, should I join some clubs and do some volunteer work to solidify my acceptance? Just in case I get rejected. And do they read recommendation letters?

A. it is marginal. They only even look if your GPA is say just a little under the minimum required. Then, good extracurriculars can add between 0.05 and 0.1 to your perceived GPA. But no more than that. If your GPA is over about 2.8, they matter not a bit. Because after all, a lot of kids work and have no tome for them.
