A polyglot's concerns: are these extra curriculars too academic?

<p>I'm currently a Junior in a public highschool, worried about the strictly academic nature of my extra curriculars. My average for the first two years was a 3.4 but this year...</p>

<p>Honors Precalc- A-
AP Chinese- A
Honors French 3- A
Honors World Literature- A
Honors Chemistry- A
Gym/Healthy/yada yada yada- A</p>

<p>I have a 4.1 for the first semester.
(A quick something worth noting- this is my first year of French and only third year of Chinese)</p>

<p>When it comes around to admission time, I've heard that if they see you have a rising trend in your grades, they let slide your previous mistakes. My real concern is with extra curicullars. I do quite a bit of community service, but regrettably I have nothing that doesn't stand out that isn't academic. I'm a member of</p>

<p>Environmental club
China bowl club
Francophone club
Literary magazine (I have something published in there...?)
GSA
Building with Books (Community outreach stuff)
I have a little English class on the side for enrichment that I learn with once a week. (How should I include that in my application while simultaneously avoiding sounding too bourgeoisie...)
I visit a kid with a number of mental/physical problems once a week (for the last 5 years)
I volunteer from time to time at the library.</p>

<p>My SAT scores are rather good, but then again, there are number of kids applying to colleges with the same scores</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning Test
Reading- 770
Writing- 730
Math- 710
2210 in total.</p>

<p>I feel like colleges see a number of kids that have a number of clubs like this...they probably don't care too much. What I think does count, and what might stand out, is my ability to learn foreign languages...</p>

<p>SAT IIs
Italian- 780
French- 750
Chinese- 730</p>

<p>I went on my school's study tour to China where I stayed with a home-stay.
I've been studying Russian for two years out of school now. I'm spending a semester in Russia the spring of next year.</p>

<p>I'll be taking teh English and Chemistry SAT II's in Spring and plan to top 700.</p>

<p>So, care to chance me on the following schools?</p>

<p>Middlebury
Hamilton
Grinnel
McGill
Vassar
Swarthmore
Colby
Colgate
BARD</p>

<p>Much appreciated.
(Sorry this is so scatter-brained)</p>

<p>Just do what you enjoy doing and stop worrying about what you think the admissions people want to see. I wish you wouldn't worry about trying to stand out from other applicants, because you're pretty much guaranteed to be competiting with someone with almost exactly the same stats and EC's as you.</p>
