While good grades and test are the basic requirements for getting into college, after-school activities are becoming more important in the colledge selection process in the US. As entrance into college has become more difficult, colleges have looked more at what skills you have. Taking part in after-school activities is a great way to succeed in school.

High School Clubs

Most high schools offer a lot of clubs and activities, so it is easy to find something that you are interested in. Colleges look for students who will also be active other than test scores.

High School Sports

If you want to go to college and want to take part in sports at a college level, then this fact just might give you a chance. It is generally a good idea to focus on one single sport.

In this way, you will have enough time to build their skills.

High School Publications(出版物)
