| Just my two cents here, but I do feel that you should not randomly select your extra-curricular activities for the sole purpose of it "looking good" on your application and it getting you into the school of your choice. I would recommend that you try to find something that you really enjoy doing and follow up now, for example: if you like working with kids and are good at certain subjects, consider tutoring; if there isn't a drama club at your school, think about starting one, etc. I think that at times it is really "obvious" to the admissions offices, that students (even as late as senior year) all of a sudden are involved with a myriad of "leadership, school, or community service related activities". Having seen 3 kids off to college, I truly really believe it is the commitment to those activities that counts most. NYU, like most more selective colleges, looks for very strong academics, exceptional artistic talent (Tisch), and generally well rounded individuals with diverse backgrounds, who they feel have something to contribute to the NYU community. Although my older kids attended other selective colleges (USC, UCLA), there are current NYU parents who can probably provide you with their insight. |
