So I have two opportunities for next year (my application year)

-I can work with my schools health services department attending events that promote stress relief among students through various exercises. I believe this program also gets hired by local events and businesses.

-I can work as a Physiology tutor for the fall and spring semester

My question is: Will schools that I am applying to care about these 'planned activities' if they havent started yet or have only been going on for a month or two at the time of applications? I know you can always update schools but I feel like these two activities arent worthwhile to make a school change its mind about me later on in the admissions cycle. I would have to do a decent amount of traveling to get to do these things so if schools wont really care about something I havent actually started it might not be worth it to me.

Opinions?

Do them because you want to, not for your application. I'd choose the one you like more, in case you have to reapply, but don't do either if you think you'd hate it.
