journee, no activity is more or less valuable than any other on its own: the point is how far you take the activity. Student council presidents and band members are a dime a dozen in applications at selective colleges, but leadership and musical ability are still valuable traits.

So don’t worry about whether your area of interest is under the auspecies of your high school or on an independent track. The point is to demonstrate in your application – through essays, recommendations, supplemental packages – what this activity means to you and how it will enable you to contribute to the campus community.

Colleges need leaders, musicians, artists, actors just as much as they need football players.
