Still figuring out which extracurriculars could strengthen your application to top US universities?
Your activities should reflect more than what you enjoy. They should show how you explore an interest, solve problems, and turn ideas into something meaningful.
🇺🇸 Notre Dame: Turn your values into community impact.
🔬 WashU: Connect research with real-world problem-solving.
🩺 Emory: Explore public health and human behaviour.
🏛️ UVA: Investigate policy, leadership, and civic engagement.
🌍 UNC Chapel Hill: Combine research with public service.
💡 UT Austin: Build, test, and improve an idea.
📰 Boston University: Explore global issues through research and communication.
🧪 UC San Diego: Use science and data to investigate real-world problems.
The goal isn’t to collect the most extracurriculars. It’s to build something that shows what genuinely interests you and how you act on it.
📌 Save this for your college application planning.
