DURATION

GUIDELINES
•Students may read 5 books of their choice in order to join a "funtastic" party full of surprises and prizes in December. All students have the opportunity to keep a log of all books read. For every 5 books read and recorded, a student earns 5 extra points in their ELA quarterly.

Don't "spread yourself too thin" with clubs, meaning that you need to leave sufficient time to do the required homework for all your classes.

Joining clubs in high school can certainly enhance your college applications and increase your chances of getting into Ivy League schools. However, it is important to note that clubs alone will not guarantee admission to these prestigious institutions. Admissions committees at Ivy League schools consider a wide range of factors, including academics, extracurricular activities, essays, recommendation letters, and standardized test scores.
That being said, participating in clubs can be a valuable experience that demonstrates your interests, passions, leadership abilities, and commitment to extracurricular activities. Colleges want to see that you are engaged outside of the classroom and have contributed to your school community. By joining clubs, you can not only develop skills and pursue your passions, but also demonstrate your dedication, initiative, and ability to work with others.
To increase your chances of getting into Ivy League schools, it is important to choose clubs that align with your interests and showcase your strengths. You should focus on quality over quantity and actively participate in the clubs you join. This could involve taking on leadership roles, attending club meetings and events regularly, and making meaningful contributions. It is also a good idea to seek out opportunities for community service, as this demonstrates your commitment to making a positive impact on society.
In addition to joining clubs, it is important to excel academically and take challenging courses. Ivy League schools prioritize academic excellence and look for students who have pushed themselves academically. It is also important to maintain a high GPA and perform well on standardized tests like the SAT or ACT.
To stand out to Ivy League admissions committees, it is crucial to showcase your unique qualities and experiences through your essays and recommendation letters. This can include highlighting your involvement in clubs and how they have shaped your character and interests.
Ultimately, while joining clubs in high school can strengthen your college applications, it is just one piece of the puzzle. Ivy League admissions are highly competitive, and it is important to strive for excellence in all aspects of your application. Focus on developing your skills and interests, making meaningful contributions, and demonstrating your commitment to growth and making a positive impact.
