<p>My school doesn't have a JSA, but I plan to start one as a senior this school year.</p>
<p>I already applied to the symposium, but I want to know if anybody has gone to it before. </p>
<p>I already raised part of them amount and my parents are paying for the other part, so I'm covered financially.</p>
<p>Any advice about the symposium?</p>
<p>Anybody going to the symposium? Does it help with the college application, especially because I am going to start a JSA at my school?</p>
<p>Anyone?</p>
<p>I want to know how admissions officials look at extra curricular activities.</p>
<p>How do they do that?</p>
<p>The symposium is a nice activity, but not at all selective, right? If it is meaningful to you, it would be a good essay topic. </p>
<p>If you start this as a club at your school and show a lot of leadership and devotion to it, this is of course a good extracurricular for your college app - it willl help if it is something you are really interested in.</p>
