Can I apply to med school without MCAT?
When is it too late to take the MCAT? If you’re not an early-bird type of test-taker, however, the good news is that your medical school application can be verified and processed without your MCAT score.
What are extracurricular activities and why are they important?
Extracurricular activities are simply anything you do that is not a high school course or paid employment (but note that paid work experience is of interest to colleges and can substitute for some extracurricular activities).
Do Colleges really look at extracurriculars?
If you’re a high school student, you’ve probably heard that “colleges look at extracurriculars,” but you might be wondering what that really means for you. What are colleges evaluating when they look at your extracurricular participation, and how can you ensure that your activities make a good impression?
What can I do with my extra curriculars?
Keep in mind that there can be a lot of different outlets for each interest you have. For example, if you want to play an instrument, you can take private classes, play in your school’s marching band, play in a community concert band, or work as part of the orchestra for your school’s next musical.
What is the difference between honors and extracurricular activities?
The Common Application as well as many individual college applications group together extracurricular activities with community service, volunteer work, family activities, and hobbies. Honors are a separate category since they are a recognition of achievement, not an actual activity.
