My extracurricular activities "heavily" fell in my senior year of college in the U.S where I did
280+ hospital clinical floor volunteer at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle
Board member of Seattle King County Free Clinic (only student on board back then)
Local non-profit work within Greater Seattle Area
: mentor 30+ high school kids and helped out with their college application/scholarships
community food program assistant

My current plan is to take the GMAT in a few months and start to find work in Taiwan.
I plan to work 2 - 3 years before I apply MBA in the U.S.
My question is, would my extracurricular activities in college count by the time I apply?
or, will I need to continue to seek new opportunities in the next 2 - 3 years?

Hi
lary301254M7,
Thanks for writing
Yes, of course, your extra-curricular activities at college will count. However, since you still have 2-3 years before your MBA, you will need to continue engaging on new fronts. We recommend that instead of just looking for volunteer roles, try getting involved with activities that allow you to take on leadership roles and have a more intense impact. Remember, this will allow you a greater number of talking points in your application
Hope this helps!
All the best!
