Can somebody tell me if my ECs are too weak to get accepted into colleges like Boston College/NYU?
9th : Club Basketball, Club Soccer, Science Olympiad
10th : Robotics Club
11th : Robotics Club, FBLA, Environmental Club (Leadership)
~200 hrs of hospital volunteering (10-11)
This summer I was selected to be a counselor in an overseas trip where I will help immerse kids in Korean culture. Will be getting paid for this and this is my big leadership role.
In 12th grade I intend to do the same clubs as I did in 11th grade, and hopefully I will get a leadership position in another one
Well I mean it depends on your grades and scores. Both BC and NYU hover at around 30-35% acceptance rates, so if you have good grades and show that you have passion with your EC’s you should have a good chance to get in. Good Luck!
if you have a high gpa and sat/act score then your ec’s wont matter that much, but if not your ec’s still look really good and getting another leadership position would only make them better! Good Luck!
Your EC’s are fine. I know it seems like everyone says you need to cure cancer but honestly, you need just a handful of EC’s that you are passionate in and/or have participated in for a long time.
