Here are the list of extracurriculars you should do as a junior that admission officers actually care about. Junior year is your last chance to start meaningful activities that colleges notice. While everyone else has identical resumes, these will make you stand out completely. Activity No. 1 start a micro business that solves a real problem. I started a tutoring service for middle schoolers struggling with coding. I helped 10 students improve their skills and showed entrepreneurial initiative. Colleges eat this up because it demonstrates real world impact and leadership. Activity No. 2 create a community advocacy project. Find an issue in your local area and do something about it. You can organize specific campaigns and even presented to your city council. This shows initiative beyond just volunteering. Activity No. 3 become a certified expert in something unique. Get certified in CPR, become a lifeguard, learn coding languages or get photography credentials. These aren't just resume fillers, these are skills that demonstrate your commitment and can develop your real world skills.
