[quote=Anonymous]I worked in college admissions as a reader for 10 years. Absolutely no difference in how ECs "inside" school and outside school are considered. Simply joining multiple in school activities that likely just require one to sign up (yearbook but not being the editor, math club but not competing on a math team, writing one article in 4 years for the school newspaper) would be much less relevant than for instance many years of music or dance outside of school, with evidence for real dedication and hopefully talent, via selection for youth orchestras or regional dance companies etc. Likewise sports outside of school. The relevant part is continued focus and interest, hopefully with evidence for progression of skill/talent, and leadership. Working outside of school even at a pretty menial job can be more important than lots of in school random ECs. [/quote]
