Hello, first post here.
I am having a very hard time finding extracurricular activities since I have not been constant with my community involvement.
So far I have thought of reading (I enjoy 20th century authors a lot), I read like 30-40 books a year (actually I audio read near half of them) and I am also a fan of Zombie comics, literature, videogames and movies (should I include this).
But I do not know if I should include these ones for a number of reasons:
-Veganism - is this considered an activity? I have done a lot of research and enjoy exploring vegan cuisine but I do not cook much since I live alone.
-Nutritional/health advisor - I keep updated with nutrition advances and diets for different goals, I have also helped around 20 persons to lose/gain weight. I do not charge for these services though.
-Yoga/Meditation - I did these frequently but since I was very busy with CFA and GMAT, I haven't been frequent in the last 9 months.
I think these would be in line with my "short and long term goals essay" in which I put that I want to work in the food & beverage industry and detailed some profitable strategies that would make healthier products more affordable in emerging markets.
Also, do these qualifyas "strong" activities? I am worried I have not done any community service in year.
Thanks in advance,
Armando

Hi Armando,
So I don't have the best of news for you - fair warning. It's great that you're passionate about health and fitness and that it is driving your career interests. That said, the only activity that would even count would be helping others lose weight. And even then, that's a pretty weak activity, unfortunately. On a side note, the reading thing doesn't count. You can put that in "additional info" in your resume if you'd like but it's not an activity or involvement. But, if you're applying R1 in 2015 - then you have some time to work on this!

Schools look at your activities not just to see that you "do things", but that you have leadership potential. This is why the consultant above said that your weight Health Advisor thing may weakly qualify. Think about activities (even smaller ones) where you had an opportunity to lead something or influence others. It would be more impactful than yoga or reading for instance.
