Importance of extra-curricular activities

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am planning to appy for fall 2007. I think I have pretty strong application except for in the area of extra-curricular activities. I would like to know what kind of effect this will have on my application. Any info/advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

LSR,

We certainly look at extracurricular activies while we're reviewing applications. However, we realize that people have varying amounts of "free" time to spend on additional activities. For example, we will not look unfavorably on someone that has a very demanding job that is not doing anything outside of work, because we realize that he/she is probably working very long hours.
