What are some good extracurriculars to do for a higher chance of admission?

Right now I'm in 9th grade. I'm currently playing club hockey, I am part of the non-auditioned choir at my school this year and I'm doing the intermediate choir next year. I also am part of our school's video broadcasting team.

Hi! When it comes to extracurriculars, it is not certain extracurriculars that are appreciated more than others, it is the involvement that you have with them. As you have said that you are apart of your school's video broadcasting team, it would be beneficial for you to continue your time in it, gaining more and more years. As you are doing intermediate choir, you want to continue your involvement in it. It is the importance of the time that you have done in that extracurricular, not the extracurricular itself. You want to show colleges/universities that you are willing to be committed and dedicated.
