Extracurricular Activities: What will impress college?

Wednesday, July 21st at 6:00 PM Central/7:00 PM Eastern

Is there an extracurricular that is more impressive to colleges than others?  I don't really do anything at school because I have to work so should I leave that session blank?  I do way more than 10 activities so how should I rank my activities? There are so many different ways to show what you do when you are not in the classroom.  Join Lauren Rambo from Bucknell University and Jorge Haise from Tulane University to understand how to present your activities to colleges in your application.
