Good advice. In today’s competitive world for elite schools, don’t ignore the “get involved outside school.” In the current cycle, I’m seeing a lot of great students who thought their stellar academic records would carry the day, but they are getting rejected from their elite ED choices if they don’t have something that stands out beyond the academics.
Being a member of some school clubs just won’t cut it. Demonstrate active leadership and accomplishment, especially in something related to your future field of study. Activities that show measurable, provable accomplishment.
