text: The last reason why I think extracurricular activity is something students should be involved in is because it would help them to get into college. Now a-days colleges not only look at grades when accepting students, but they also look at activities they did outside of school. With extracurricular activities on their college application, students are more likely to get accepted to a college compared to when they don't. For instance, a boy who graduated at the top of his class applied for his dream college. On the other hand, a girl who was also at the top of her class was applying for the same college. The college looked at both students' college applications and accepted the girl. The school accepted the girl because she was able to keep her grades up while participating in extracurricular activities.
