Sports tend to highlight your competitiveness and motivation to achieve, but you can easily show these qualities if you focus on developing leadership skills in your other extracurricular activities.

Extracurricular activities literally means anything you do outside of school. So if you participate in school clubs, sports, church groups, take lessons in anything, volunteer, hold a job, help take care of your family/siblings, these things all count as extracurricular activities.

No, it is definely not true that UCLA does that.

In fact, i dont think any colleges do that. However,

you need to do something you really like so that

you can write them down in your college application. If you

like sport, do it, if not, forget it. Keep in mind the

most important thing… get good grades!!!
