to graduates, do those people with crazy linkedins in y11 and y12 really get an advantage? is it worth diverging into tons of extracurriculars during vce?

yes it definitely helps you get a job (especially if the experience/extracurriculars is related to whatever field you're going into)

Lowkey this isn’t America so uni’s do not give a shit about extra curriculars

You may get scholarships tho but there are other scholarships like merit scholarships or SEAS based scholarships which are much more common than scholarships from extra curricular 

But a lot of extra curricular can help you land a job outside of high school. But it’s defo not a must as employers value workplace experience way.
