How important are your extracurriculars when transferring?

Transfer Students

<p>I know there is no set formula, but I was wondering how much weight colleges set on your extracurriculars as a transfer student. I was looking at the Common App for transfers, and they ask for you to list your extracurriculars starting from 11th grade up until college.
If you were an unmotivated sloth during high school but became more involved in freshman/sophomore year, would they take note of that?</p>

<p>Also, do clubs in college count as extracurriculars?</p>

<p>& what are some ideas for getting involved in extracurriculars if you are at a community college?</p>

<p>ECs matter for some colleges/universities, and don’t matter for others. You really need to look at the specific institutions that are on your list and evaluate them on a case-by-case basis.</p>

<p>Clubs are ECs. Look around your CC, and you will almost certainly encounter activities that you are interested in.</p>
