What can I do to Improve

So I want to go to UC Berkeley. On my profile it says that my coursework is strong. I need improvements on my Extracurriculars. I want to go to a business/finance career. I do a sport, I am fostering animals, I have given stock advice, and I have also lightly tutored. What else can I do

So far, you have some extracurriculars that show that you are well-rounded. Now you will want to add a few activities to your list that demonstrate a spike in the specific area of business or finance that you are interested in. Here are a few activities you could do that would stand out:

- Start your own business

- Provide financial services for underserved communities, e.g. microloans of a few hundred dollars

- Start an investment club at your high school. For example, you could run an investment tournament where everyone uses stock portfolio simulators

Hope this helps!
