Yes, duh
Can I use chess for extracurricular in univerisity?
Yes, duh
It's not that simple. you need to have a few accomplishments in it, you can't just say "I have a 2000 rating in chess"
Somehow, I doubt it. But, then again, I was in university over 35 years ago, so what do I know?
what did you put in the extracurricular essay?

Yes, duh

are you inferring you think you'll be ONLY 2000 uscf when you're 18 ish

No, I just came up with a random rating

I would say no unless you’re an expert. And even then, it’s touchy unless or until you’re are master.

I would say some people I have heard of such as Vignesh, Naroditsky, etc were at the very least top 10 in the country juniors and had a big accomplishment such as World Junior Champion or K-12 National Champion. This is specifically if you are only leaning on chess. If you are good at other things then you don't have to be as great.
I used to teach at a college. Another route you could take is coaching younger kids in high school. It's still chess oriented but would be community service for scholarships as well.

can i use math as an extracurricular? also, if I want to do a computer science degree, could I still use programming?

So I could get a scholarship for teaching chess? I don't know about that one. I thought it would have to be like community service as in cleaning the ocean or something like that.
I'm not a college student, I'm still in middle school. I know that in university, you need to have an extra curricular essay. Can I use chess in it? I do programming and a lot of math, so I'm planning to use those. I want to go to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and for that I will need extra curricular activities. My academics are pretty good, I think I can nail a perfect score on SAT, at least for math. I will probably do the K through 12 SAT which is harder, and I think I will do good on it based on how much time I am investing on math. So, assuming I get a perfect academic report, would that be enough to go to a good university like MIT? Or maybe stanford? If not those, then I think I will be able to qualify for Berkeley. I still have 6 years till I go graduate high school (12th grade is the last year of high school right?), and my online uscf right now is 1250, but I am underrated. I haven't played many online uscf rated tournaments. So, if I were to use chess (along with programming and math) for my extra curricular essay, would that be sufficient. I play chess everyday, I am currently learning python, I am an intermidiate in it, and right now I'm in 6th grade, but at home in my own time, I am doing precalculus math on IXL (I use IXL). Would that be sufficient for MIT or Stanford or Berkeley? Ok now I will update this in 6 years and tell you where I'm going lol. Ok now please do answer my question.
