It's a natural outcome of the limited space I think.
Given loads of plain smart people and limited ability to measure the difference between them what measures can you use? Extra curricular activities seem like a decent measure simply because they take up time so all other things being equal the student who had a time consuming extra curricular activity was probably either a) better at time management, b) harder working, or c) smarter and able to complete the same work in a shorter amount of time.

- rtkwe 7y agoThat really depends on the extra curricular though. There's plenty that aren't expensive at all: Scouting, (most) sports, and volunteering. Those all demand mostly time commitments with small outlays for relatively cheap equipment.
