Are you involved at CHS or in the community? Why? Most college applications ask about your activities. That’s because the things you do in your free time reveal a lot about you — in ways that grades and test scores can’t. Your accomplishments outside the classroom show what you’re passionate about and that you have qualities valued by colleges. Serving in student government shows that you have leadership skills. ● Being on the track team through high school shows that you’re able to make a long-term ● commitment. Doing volunteer work at a hospital shows that you are dedicated to helping others. ● Working a part-time job while keeping your grades up shows that you are responsible and ● can manage your time.
