<p>I know that colleges would rather prefer less clubs but more involvement, but I actually like all the clubs I'm in except two of them. I'm in 8-10 clubs this year, 8 depending if I want to drop Drama and Foreign Language because those are my least liked clubs. Would it look like I'm trying to impress colleges with all my clubs, which is a bad thing, or does it look I'm involved in a lot of things, which is a good thing? My purpose for joining these clubs is for career exploration.</p>
<p>It looks a bit messy unless you have significant leadership roles… But surely you won’t be penalized for your involvement.</p>
<p>You can choose not to include some clubs in your common app if they don’t show significant involvement.</p>
