I ask because, although I do a lot of “activities” outside of school, they are not necessarily school-affiliated activities, or with clubs. Like, I like to play the bass guitar & sing, and paint & draw, and study a lot of subjects on my own time. And writing is absolutely my passion. BUT these aren’t school- or club-affiliated activities.
So, in order to list this stuff on a college application, do they have to be sponsored by the school in order to be extracurriculars?
Although I am in a few clubs at my school, I would like to express to colleges how I spend my time in activities that aren’t school-related.
So, what qualifies an extracurricular activity? Is it truly just extracurricular, in that, it’s something you do that is EXTRA, or does it have to be like a sport, or with a club, or with the school?
Anything you enjoy doing outside of regular school hours is extra curricular.
Anything you do that isn’t worth credit counts. It doesn’t have to be related to your school, and the best ones usually aren’t.
