<p>So basically, I didn't take any clubs in school for freshman year, but I did participate in my church outside of school.
For sophmore year, I took 3 clubs- ceramics club, ethnicity-appreciation club, and the table tennis club. First of all, I hardly showed up to those clubs, and second of all, those clubs seem so terrible to put on college applications (compared to if I went to a math club). However, I was in an art program outside of school.
Then, this summer, I took an internship for a month and a half at a fashion company.
Also, I go to a performing arts high school, so art is treated as a major subject, meaning it holds the same grade value as math, science, etc. I take three mandatory art classes. My friends told me that taking clubs aren't necessary because I take 2 hours of art everyday as a major subject, unlike other high schools.
So my question is, are colleges looking for specific kinds of clubs? Will it matter to them that I took a job? I'm not in any sports teams, will that help/hurt my chances? Do my art classes matter to them?
Thanks so much!</p>
<p>It depends on the college you aim for. </p>
<p>If you’re aiming for the very top, ECs are the decisive factors. </p>
<p>If you’re aiming for CSUs, UMO, Canadian colleges not called UBC (and even for UBC what you already have is enough) or another college with an auto-admit plan, as long as you fulfill all the auto-admit conditions, no.</p>
<p>If you aim for accredited schools with easy academic acceptance, not much.</p>
