If you are feeling intimidated by the college application process, I highly suggest breaking up the application into sizeable sections. One section has essays, one section asks you to input some of you background information, other sections asks for transcripts, recommendation letters, and there is even a section where you can upload a portfolio of your artwork. This blog will focus on the extracurricular section, where you can share the activities, club, sports and responsibilities you have outside of the classroom.
There is no doubt in our minds that you are learning a great deal from your teachers and peers within your classes. However, you also learn a lot from activities outside the classroom, where you have the chance to explore your interests and engage with others outside of an academic setting.
Any activity done outside of the classroom can be described as extracurricular, but there are some limits on what you should list in this section. Read below to see if it counts!
I hope this helps. If you are still unsure about whether you should list something or not, you can always ask your guidance counselor or even send the Tufts admissions team an e-mail.
Best of Luck!
