| مستخلص: | Many institutions adopted test-optional policies during the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning that nonstandardized parts of the application may play a more influential role in admissions. Our research team examined extracurricular activities reporting in more than six million applications submitted from the Common Application dataset and found that White, Asian American, higher socioeconomic status, and private-school students reported more activities, more top-level leadership positions, and more activities with honors and awards. These disparities are influenced by inequitable access to extracurricular activities and the various dynamics of admissions at selective institutions. We recommend institutions reassess the weight that extracurricular activities are given in admissions, provide training for admissions staff, and for institutions and application platforms to consider reducing the maximum number of activities that students are allowed to list on their applications. |
