For those who have applied and those who have been accepted into Haas School of Business, what types of extra curricular activities did you participate in? What types of things do you recommend that I get into both on and off campus to make myself a competitive applicant? I am looking to transfer fall of 17’ and currently a part of the honors program at my school. Thanks in advance.
This might be a bit different situation because I’m a 4-year student here but here’s a little taste of what I did:
- Volunteered for a financial literacy program in Oakland freshman year
- Did some educational volunteer work through my church
- Held an officer position in an on-campus sports club
- Interned doing marketing during freshman fall, freshmen summer, and sophomore fall
- Did some miscellaneous volunteer work for environmental nonprofits
There’s not that much here; guessing what did the trick for me was the work experience-- I’m thinking that Haas values that quite a bit.
