Question

What are the best clubs or extra curricular activities that look good for colleges? I have a 3.94 gpa and want an academic scholarship, what should i do?

Answer 1

Ones in which you can show your passion for what you are doing, and also in which you have attained a leadership position, or done something that shows initiative (run a conference, etc.).  You should demonstrate through your essays how you came to pick these activities, and how they relate to your interests.  If you can draw that to include how they helped you decide what to do for college, all the better.  Don't lie and don't say what you think they want to hear--they've heard it all.  Also say how you will contribute to the college you will be attending through the evidence of what you've already accomplished.
