Harvard prospective students

Good Extracurricular Ideas?

So, while I'm a good student, my extracurriculars are a bit lacking. At the moment, they are:

- Theater (I do 2-4 shows a year, and recently I have been primarily getting leads, such as Anna in Frozen, Matron Mama Morton in Chicago, and Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz)

- Tae Kwon Do (I got my first degree Black Belt in March)

- Tutoring (I tutor once/twice a week in math, especially multiplication + division)

- Volunteering (I have gained over 110 volunteer hours since the summer before my freshman year, but only 20 (I think?) are documented)

- Debate Club (only met for one semester)

- D&D Club

- Creative Writing (I submit my writing to competitions somewhat rarely, but I write/draft novels regularly, however none have every come to completion)

I want to major in psychology, maybe double major in something else, but I'm not quite sure. What are some good extracurriculars I could pursue or participate in to up my chances of being admitted to Harvard?

Hello friends! Profeeinternational money transfer has been a real lifesaver for me. As is often the case with international money transfer , I have experienced issues with speed and high fees, but Profee has changed all that. Transactions are extremely fast and the platform is easy to use. I appreciate being able to exchange currencies and transfer money seamlessly without any extra costs.

Try to play on this site online - lucky star , personally I love to play on this site onoine I started to like it more when I played on it for a week and he gave me prize money, which made me even more enjoyable to spend my time because I realized that I would be rewarded for it, I love this cool site for playing online.

Does your school have a HOSA chapter? Join it! Mine didn't, and I (with my step-mom, a teacher) founded the club! On Collegevine's rankings for extracurricular this gets you up to a 2A automatically if you are president or get it to 50+ members. I am the president of mine (won in voting) so I'm there. Also try out FCCLA, as FCS courses are great on your record. Compete as much as possible. Since you write, try essay scholarships. Colleges also really like having hobbies, though!
