Top Law Schools

Feeling distraught over my lack of extracurricular/community involvement. My resume shows that I've been working consistently through school but my extracurricular activity section on my apps is literally blank. I haven't done volunteer work, I haven't been involved in sports since high school, I'm not a member of any clubs... Any one else have a similar issue? How did you handle it? It's too late in the game to start something but leaving the section blank seems like a fast track to the reject pile for any of my reach schools...

You did absolutely nothing your whole college career, save for work and go to class? You can't think of a single thing you did that could count as an extracurricular?

I coached my little brother's soccer team and wrote that there. I helped organize a few events for a club and wrote that there. I played pickup sports and put that there. There has got to be something you did that you're missing.

Hahah, no, I guess I'm freaking out thinking it's a big deal but hopefully you're right. The more applications I fill out the more stressed I get about each question. I wonder if many people leave it blank altogether though... I spent a decent amount of time helping friends and siblings with studying and homework, is it a stretch to consider that tutoring since it wasn't in a very formal setting?

IMO that is more like a study group.
