Good question. Ivy League colleges use extracurriculars to gauge your personality in ways that grades and test scores cannot.

There is a catch, though. Extracurriculars only tell a compelling story when they happen outside the beaten path. Extracurriculars that you just sign up for at school, in addition to being wayyy too common to matter, don't show anything interesting about your personality.
