Is it OK if youre not that active in school, but active OUTSIDE of school

<p>Im not that active in school (the ppl at my school are absolulte pricks), but I am quite active outside of school; i started my own organization; and I have over 200 hours of volunteer work...is that ok? how bad will it look for colleges that im not active in school? should i tell colleges i switched schools and it was REALLy hard to adapt for 2 yrs??</p>

<p>Yes, it's OK.</p>

<p>That's fine, and you don't need to explain anything. A lot of kids are active only outside of school.</p>

<p>It was half the story of my life, in fact I'd say in some instances, being involved outside of the "familiar school environment" shows initiative on your part to get involved.</p>

<p>bump.........</p>

<p>it's just as impressive if you're active outside the school.and usually, non school affliated clubs are bigger and more wide-known compared to school clubs.</p>

<p>Not a problem, same criterion, is it meaningful?</p>

<p>yeah its fine. I'm the same way. I'm not super active at school but I have alot going on outside of school :)</p>

<p>Yes, you are fine. If the work you are doing is meaningful and not for show, don't worry.</p>

<p>I always thought that activity OUTSIDE of school was much more appealing than activities inside.</p>
