<p>I'm trying to figure out what extra curriculars I should do since I don't do many right now. Any advice?</p>

<p>Be a really good athlete.</p>
<p>If you have to ask, you can’t or won’t do what they would be looking for.</p>
<p>Instead of thinking from the perspective of what you (or any of us) THINK Princeton is looking for, try thinking about who you are and what really makes you tick. Choose EC’s based on what makes you feel excited and inspired. What you choose doesn’t matter much. WHY you choose it is crucial. Invest yourself in such a way that no matter where you end up post secondary, you will feel great about how you spent your high school years. And the bonus - when it comes time to describe who you are in your applications and essays you’ll have greater self awareness, confidence and clarity. </p>
<p>All good replies. If you are solely motivated by what YOU THINK adcoms will want then you are already screwed. Do what you actually and honestly enjoy and try really hard at it. That’s it. </p>
