Extracurriculars for Transfer 2022- Fall 2019

Colleges & Universities Cornell University
1

Hey guys, so I’m trying to specialize my extracurriculars because I’m trying to transfer to Cornell for Fall 2019 Semester

So far I’m in
AED (not initiated yet but will be)
WISE (A club geared towards women in STEM)
Hall Crew (It’s a club where we put on activities for dorms)
I’m also a Desk Assistant (Work-study)
Japanese Club (I’m not sure if I will continue this ).

None of these are very time consuming though

I’m looking into trying to mentor kids that are in situations where college doesn’t seem like a reality because I come from the same background.

I’m also trying to get into research next semester/ or tutoring Biology

Are these pretty good? I know I should specialize in extracurriculars and make it pertain to the field I want to enter but I don’t know if this is good enough

Does anyone have any input on where I can search for extracurriculars related to STEM that are feasible for a Freshman college student?

Thank you!

Honestly, you answered your question, the biggest thing that will impress AO I’d imagine is ECs related to your major/ career prospects. Would also help if you let us know what your major is in STEM. There’s Engineering, cs… etc so it will all depend on major. If you have not decided yet I’d look into CS. You mentioned WISE and honestly, women are BEYOND sought in software engineering. Just google the scholarships open, while most will state STEM, some will be exact in that STEM and CS to be exact. Wishing you luck as a fellow prospect fall 2019 transfer!
