Answer:

Extracurricular Activity

Colleges prefer students who are active in academics as well as off it. This shows diversity in the student and is a trait that the counselors would be looking for.

Extracurricular activities like after-school jobs, sports and even volunteering at NGOs weigh heavily in the assessment of a student's ability to fit in a college and if you had great grade whilst doing these activities, you will have a better chance at being admitted.
