text: When your applying for college applications, you want to have at least one or two extracurricular activities. Especially, if your applying to a very high standard school, like Harvard or Yale. However, if you put those academic activities on your application you could most likely get in to the school that your applying for. Most of the colleges now a days look for people who have good grades and a great minimum of extracurricular activities because they want to see if the person isnt all about grades and can do other activities at the same time. Also, they look to see if you have anything that relates to their major or study. As a result, if you do those after school activities it can be helpful in your college application part.
