I'm currently in my junior year of high school, and I'm starting to think about college applications. I'm involved in a few extracurricular activities, but I'm not sure if it's enough. How do you strike the right balance between academics and extracurriculars? And how do you choose activities that will make your college application stand out?

Don't be afraid to try new things! Exploring different activities can help you discover new interests and make your college application more diverse and interesting.
Remember that academics should still be your top priority, Jordan. It's essential to strike a balance between your schoolwork and extracurricular activities.
Try to find activities that align with your interests and potential career goals. Colleges like to see that you're exploring and developing your passions outside of the classroom.
Consider seeking leadership roles or opportunities to make a significant impact in your chosen activities. This can demonstrate initiative and commitment on your college applications.
Focus on quality rather than quantity when it comes to extracurricular activities. Colleges are more interested in seeing your dedication and passion for a few activities than a long list of superficial involvements.
