Would having no extracurricular activities in college raise a red flag when applying for IB internships?
I'm a freshman at a target school and I'm majoring in Economics. I expect to maintain a GPA of 3.7x-3.8x.
In order to help pay for college I have a part-time job. Unfortunately, between the job and studying I have very little free time.
To answer my question, I know having no extracurriculars would be detrimental to my chances of getting an IB internship.
Therefore, I'd like to know the minimum level of extracurricular participation I would need to check off the box. I don't want to be stretched more thin than I already am.
Would joining the investment club and playing intramural basketball suffice? Something else?
I don't know what constitutes a "good" extracurricular activity. But, I want to make sure I get the most bang for the buck.
Thanks.
(and if anyone says "just do what interests you" then I'd be between investment club, basketball, and photography club)
Won't matter as long as you get good work experience. As long as you have a solid answer for "tell me about something you're involved with on campus" you'll be fine.
