“I was really involved in extracurricularAug 06 2007Finance
I was really involved in extracurricular activities in High School. I was a letter winner in football and rowing, I coached hockey, was involved in school plays, choir, student council, spanish club, and a community service organization. Universities look at more than just grades. They look for well-rounded individuals who can give back to the community. Get involved and do something great that sets you apart from everyone else.
