Extracurricular Activities
Many colleges will want to see what you are involved in outside of school. However, extracurriculars are more difficult this year, so colleges will definitely understand. In the COVID-19 section of your application, make sure to explain what opportunities you would have pursued if they hadn't been cancelled. If you're able to get involved in your community or in extracurricular activities at school, it can help you show colleges who you are!
