<p>I could be wrong, but my experience has been that once you’re in college, no one really thinks like that. Dedication is just something you’re assumed to be capable of if you’re applying for a full-time job. What matters is if you’ve dedicated yourself to industry-specific classes/extracurriculars/internships, etc.</p>
<p>By the end of freshman year, your resume should no longer have any references to high school activities/awards, other than the bottom-liner of ‘interests/hobbies.’ Do orchestra/wind ensemble if you actually enjoy doing it, but putting it on your resume, other than as filler if it’s not one page long, has effectively no impact on your career prospects.</p>
