Many admissions directors are very interested in the quality and make-up of individuals who will be attending their college or university. Participating in sports can show an applicant has competitive drive and a winning attitude. Extracurricular activities can also highlight an applicant's competitive spirit, leadership qualities, and overall interests. Volunteering and church involvement often tell an admissions director that an applicant is active in the community and shows signs of good moral character, leadership, and life skills. Political involvement can also demonstrate an applicant's strong leadership skills and public awareness.
Work experience can indicate an applicant is responsible and has a strong work ethic.
