<p>I'm a junior in high school, I have a pretty good GPA and I take AP classes. I'm interested in applying to the College of Arts and Sciences. I haven't been too involved in extracurriculars, but this year I'm starting Mock Trial, Chem club, a chemistry internship, and volunteering. I was wondering if there are any ways to improve my chances aside from improving my GPA and doing well on the SAT. Thanks.</p>
<p>It’s going to be hard to show you have commitment for a specific extracurricular activity. IMO, your best bet is to dump a crap ton of time into volunteering.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks. Would you recommend that I try to find other extracurriculars in chemistry or should I just work more hours in the activities I’m already participating in?</p>
<p>Make sure your chemistry internship is substantial. If something written can come of it (letter of recommendation, abstract from a paper, details of an experiment, etc.), that would be helpful.</p>
