hi,
I’m a freshman now, have a uw 4.0 gpa, take all honors courses and I’m very interested in pursuing nursing. I was hoping for some input on my extracurriculars- how I could improve, opinions, etc
What I’m currently involved in includes: red cross club, student council, junior classics league, student movement against cancer, animal shelter volunteering and hospital volunteering
Next year I plan on joining my school’s science league and, by junior year, national honor’s society and leadership corps
Thanks!
*Also, if anyone has any info about research programs in the New York-Philadelphia-Princeton area- it would be much appreciated!
It is better to focus on a couple clubs rather than spreading your effort out over say 10 clubs. You want to demonstrate your passion to colleges, and they prefer a steady active participation and dedication in a few clubs. Don’t be that person who lists all the ECs out just because you signed up and attended a couple meetings. You’ll have a more likely impact on the club if you have more time spent in that club. IMO 4 or 5 is the max. Of course, this will change depending on what you’re interested in most.
