<p>Hi guys.. Any advice for international students? I have very good grades in SAT, British A-Levels and TOEF but I am not really big on extracurricular activities.. how much can this affect my chances?</p>
<p>How recent do these activities need to be ? I mean during the years 2007 - 2009 is good ?
Because I haven't had much time for such things during High school</p>
<p>Finally , What if I had participated in community-service activities personally and not like a charity or something . how should I address these activities in my application ?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance !!!!</p>

They are expert at helping students from your country find good places to study in the US.</p>
<p>Colleges and universities in the US do not expect international applicants to have the same sorts of extracurricular activities as US students do, because they know that where you live things are different. You need to take advantage of what is available where you are.</p>
