Do participating in sports or music so important?

<p>Actually I'm not participating in any music clubs or sports clubs.</p>

<p>However, there are many people who doesn't mention sports or music club in their application form. </p>

<p>Do college officers look transcripts carefully? </p>

<p>If do they, participating in a music club or sports club can be helpful? </p>

<p>No mention about sports or music in extracurricular section of application form can hurt my chance?</p>

<p>As long as your have leadership roles in certain activities, I wouldn't worry too much. Its good to show you are involved in something and have some sort of passion.</p>

<p>I participated in neither, and I'm going to Dartmouth.</p>

<p>It doesn't necessarily have to be sport or music. Find something that you really want to get involved in (and preferably something that you are reasonably good at!), and make a commitment to it.</p>
