What are worthwhile extracurricular activities in college?
nzmsv: I ran a robotics design team. I learned that managing people is not trivial, and I learned it the hard way. I also learned a lot about Linux, embedded systems, and putting electronic circuits together.Another thing I learned was that I strongly prefer working with software to hardware. I am pretty good at connecting components together, but I wouldn't want to design these chips. I ended up switching my specialization, and it's good that I did this then rather than after graduating.My marks suffered, but overall it was worthwhile. I'd still say do something you like rather than what you think will impress a committee. But I don't (yet?) have any incredible success stories to share to back up this opinion.
