I'm starting to get a little worried about not seeming like a "well rounded" candidate. I graduated in December 2009. I was VERY active in college. I was the Treasurer of my accounting frat, we won 2nd place at a regional competition, I volunteered with the IRS to do free tax work for low income individuals, I made financial literacy presentations to freshman classes, etc, etc etc....
However, since graduating in December 2009, i haven't done ANYTHING outside of work and training for a marathon. Passing the CPA exam, plus the fact that my work hours are insanely demanding, has left me almost zero time to spend volunteering. I plan on doing at least something small starting in the next few weeks, probably volunteering at our local university affiliated healthy eating instruction kitchen. I'll be selling home grown veggies, promoting healthy lifestyles, etc...
Now, I'm not applying until NEXT summer to start Fall 2013. I guess i'm curious as to whether or not all that extracurricular activity in college is going to have any carryover affect on my application 2.5 years later? Is it all basically off the table, and I need to get some new extracurricular experience ASAP, or is it still legit to talk about those things I accomplished in undergrad (while earning a 3.7 gpa at the same time)?
