Importance of Building an Extracurricular Profile for Colleges
Colleges and universities seek well-rounded students who bring a range of talents, skills, and experiences to their campuses. An extracurricular profile showcases a student’s interests, leadership abilities, teamwork skills, and commitment to their community. These non-academic activities provide admissions committees with a broader view of a student’s character, creativity, and potential contributions to campus life. Additionally, building a strong extracurricular profile is one of the biggest contributors to a student’s Application identity.

When to Start Preparing
It’s best to begin building an extracurricular profile early in high school, typically in the 9th or 10th grade. This allows students to explore different interests and take on meaningful roles as they progress through school. Starting early also provides time to grow within these activities, achieving leadership positions or significant accomplishments by junior and senior years.
