As most of us know, MIT only allows 5 extracurriculars to be listed on their application, and most of us that are applying are involved in way more than 5, so my question is, which ones look the best? Obviously the ones that I’m most heavily involved in (DECA, American Red Cross) are the most important, but which 3 of the following would MIT want to see the most?

National Honors Society(General Member)
Computer Science Club (President)
High School Mentoring Program (Officer)
Speech and Debate(3 year varsity, Honor level, Secretary)
AP Physics Phreaks Club (President)

I’m just not 100% sure what MIT would be looking for so any help is appreciated!!
