What kind of extra curriculars do you guys engage in?

Based on this post and a couple of your others, you're going about this the wrong way.

While the best softs are hard to get (Military officer, olympian, rhodes, etc), 99% of the people who have them didn't just get them to help their applications; they had a passion for it. If you have a passion for something, pursue it to it's conclusion and it'll be impressive. Don't go searching for a list of accomplishments to staple to your application.

That or do TFA after graduation. *needless dig*

I have friends who got into HYS who seem like regular (though very capable) people with high GPA's and good LSAT's. None had any earth-shattering softs, in fact some I would say were below-average. I would focus as much as you can on school right now, and if you are truly set on law school, then participate in whatever you like the most, because that's what you'll excel in. I don't think it will make a difference in your results, unless like previous poster said, you are TFA/Peace Corps/military

Don't focus on padding your resume--focus on the LSAT.

Secs and other fun things. On a more serious note just join everything and ignore all events/meets just pay dues.

Do what you like and what will help you mature as an adult. This will help you write a better PS and better prepare you for LS.

That being said I did two AmeriCorps program with one being leadership focused. These re what I wrote my PS about and I think I out performed numbers.

As long as you can list one or two non academic things you've done, it doesn't matter.

Yes but I got a full ride to a T30 that I was at median LSAT and below median GPA. I was also OOS and they have a 50% requirement of in state.
