Is it important to do social work if you want to get into Columbia?

Question

I am a member of one NGO but I don't do offline work in it. Will it still be enough for resume building or do should I do more?

Hi,
Columbia is more interested in the quality of your participation in your extracurricular activities rather than in how you have participated in the extra curriculums. Working at an NGO, considering the last two years of lockdown should work perfectly fine on your resume. You can talk about your experience of working online amidst of a lockdown. These types of things can help the admissions officials to understand the things that you value and the contributions that you have made to your community.
Hope this helps!
