Colleges consider your application in light of the opportunities available to you. If your school doesn’t offer AP classes, for example, you’re not penalized because you didn’t take any AP classes. Your school doesn’t offer any clubs/sports/other EC’s. As long as that’s in your school profile that your guidance counselor sends, you won’t be penalized for not participating in them.

Your out of school activities don’t need to be related to your intended field of study. Schools just want to see that you’re doing something with your time out of school. That could include lessons in art, music, dance, etc. It could include a part time job. It could include working in a family business or farm.

Just think about “What do I do when I’m not in school?”
