Very important. Colleges will want to see that you are a well-rounded student that takes an active role in school and in your community. Having good grades and a good SAT score isn’t good enough if you plan on applying to a top college. Alot of colleges are know placing the emphasis on volunteer work, if you have any work experience, and if you were the president of a club at your school. Especially for th top schools in the country that receive thousands of applications that are forced to reject thousands more…nowadays you have to do everything that you can to boost your college application, and good Extra Curriculars’ are what will do the trick.
