-: There are only certain opportunities
in the UVA setting that you can demonstrate
your involvement in the community,
that you can show that you care,
that you can show your leadership skills,
you can show that you can manage time
because you are not only going to classes,
but you're also doing X, Y, Z.
These are skills that probably something you can't
learn in a classroom, and just being involved in those,
yes, you may not have the same major
as the career that you're trying to go into,
but having those extracurricular activities
gives you the other resources.
And also you might just meet someone,
an upperclassman, somebody who is in that line
who used to be in the same club,
you have a common ground, you can always reach on them
to give you advice.
