I've always thought that the best way to be noticed by an admissions committee was to stand out, not fit in. It's my goal to make people feel comfortable about the activities they choose whether or not they are typical "impress the university" choices. I'm sure your students are very thankful for the work you do on their behalf, and I am honoured you'll be sharing this with them. Thanks for your comment, Eva!

I look forward to sharing it with my students. I like how you offered constructive advice based on the ideas that (1) an "extracurricular" need not be associated with an established organization, and (2) extracurriculars need not be contrived involvements, but can arise from genuine personal interests.
