If you’re applying for a competitive major, how much do extra-curriculars benefit your admission? Or does it differ between universities?

Extracurriculars are a great way to set yourself apart from other applicants, as it shows your commitment and interests. Some schools will accept information about a student’s extacurriculars in their application, but other schools may only consider a student’s grades. So, make sure you see what a given school wants you to submit.
