Favorited High School Clubs and Teams

Hey, church! I was just pondering about what teams or clubs are the most brag-worthy at high schools across the nation? Thanks in advance!

Hey! Well, "brag-worthy" can be a bit subjective, but there's usually a high regard for groups that show exceptional achievement or leadership. In college admissions, these kinds of activities come under Tier 1 and Tier 2 extracurriculars.

Tier 1 activities are quite rare and reflect exceptional achievement, like winning a national or international award. This could be something linked to a particular club or team at your school, like if your school's debate team wins the National Speech & Debate Tournament.

Tier 2 activities are a little more common, but still denote high levels of achievement and leadership. Examples might be being president of the student council, playing a musical instrument in a state orchestra, or being top 10 in the state for a particular sport.

Keep in mind "brag-worthy" could also mean groups that are especially meaningful to you, where you've been able to make a real impact or explore your personal interests more deeply. So it's not just about the prestige at a national or international level, but also about your level of involvement, passion, and commitment. Remember that quality of involvement is often more important than quantity.

For the best advice, focus on joining clubs or teams that align with your passions and where you can demonstrate commitment, leadership, and make a significant contribution. These will be the most "brag-worthy" on your college applications.
