Inactive Extracurricular Clubs??? Forum

[AlexandraHope]

How should I handle inactive extracurriculars ? I'm in this club at school that never really meets.....I don't want to seem dishonest on my application since it is listed on my resume and I am on the website's roster for the club. Technically I am not a member anymore (Did not pay dues). Should I still list it under activities?

No. And take it off your resume...put things that matter to you on there and things you can talk about honestly without bullsh****ng

The above answer is correct, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter either way. Adcoms don't care about anything besides your GPA, LSAT, whether you're URM or not, and out of this world unique softs.

You can leave the activity off entirely or you can fabricate some grand story about how involved you were and how much you accomplished and either way you're going to get the same result.

Why would it be on your resume in the first place if it doesn't meet? You should only list clubs/activities on your resume if you're active in them (except in the case of honor societies, which are meant to be more of an award than an active organization).
