In summary, extracurricular activities, such as community service and involvement in student organisations, are not typically considered important for admission to US grad schools. However, if you were able to maintain a high GPA while also working full time or have a family member who can attest to your dedication to work, it may be beneficial to mention it in your application. As for where the money went, it appears that it was accidentally destroyed by a friend.

For grad school? I don't think they even take that into account, unless you managed a 4.0 while also working full time (or similar).

If a family member owns business, get them to say you were working 50 hours a week during school.
Where did the money go?
You kept it in a box in your room and one of your idiot friends lit it on fire.
What are extracurricular activities and why are they important in university?
Extracurricular activities refer to any activities that students participate in outside of their academic coursework. These activities can include sports, clubs, volunteer work, and more. They are important in university because they allow students to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build a well-rounded resume for future job opportunities.
How can extracurricular activities benefit students in their academic studies?
Participating in extracurricular activities can benefit students in their academic studies in several ways. These activities can help students develop time management skills, improve their problem-solving abilities, and enhance their critical thinking skills. Additionally, extracurricular activities can provide a break from academic stress and help students maintain a healthy work-life balance.
Do extracurricular activities have an impact on a student's future career?
Yes, extracurricular activities can have a positive impact on a student's future career. Employers often look for well-rounded individuals who have experience in different areas, and participating in extracurricular activities can showcase a student's diverse skills and interests. These activities can also provide networking opportunities and help students develop important soft skills such as communication and leadership.
Are there any challenges that come with balancing extracurricular activities and academic studies?
Yes, balancing extracurricular activities and academic studies can be challenging. Students may struggle with time management and prioritizing their responsibilities. It is important for students to find a balance and not let extracurricular activities interfere with their academic performance. They can do this by setting realistic goals, communicating with their professors, and staying organized.
How can students choose the right extracurricular activities for them?
Choosing the right extracurricular activities can be a personal decision for each student. It is important to consider your interests, goals, and schedule when selecting activities. Students should also take advantage of campus resources such as career centers or student organizations to learn more about the available options and find activities that align with their interests and future goals.
