<p>what is meant by "what are your particular contributions to the nonacademic life at your university?"...</p>

<p>Shaganov? Care to take a shot?</p>
<p>hmmm.... I'll give it my best</p>
<p>Talk about any leadership aspects of the clubs you are in so they can see you're not just brains, but that you have strong personal charictaristics and potential contributions as well. Stupid but easy example: You organized a fundraiser for a club. Talk about what you did to pull the fundraiser together, and how you want to use those leadership/extracurricular talents at School X.</p>
<p>That brilliant repsonse better not get you into Harvard at my expense...</p>
<p>Sports such as Intramural are another big ones.</p>
