Consideration of Extra Curriculars?

I recently was denied to Smeal for the Spring and am being reconsidered for DUS. However, I’m just curious if there is anyway for extracurriculars to be considered for admission or is there something I should do to help my chances? I’m extremely excited to start at this school and it is definitely the first school I have been excited to start at. However, I have a full resume of ACTUAL extracurriculars that could help my chances of acceptance but to my knowledge, they don’t even look at it.

To compound this issue, I only wrote about one activity in my activities essay thinking that my resume would be considered (as mentioned by college guidance counselor).

I appreciate admissions’ hospitality towards me and the last thing I want to do is pester them, but I also feel severely hampered by the fact that none of my extra curriculars are being considered. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks.
