I feel like my ACT and grades are fine but I’m unsure whether my ecs are impressive enough for Ivies, Stanford, UCB, UChicago, etc.
-Theatre for all 4 years of high school
-Karate since age 8
-Science Olympiad for 3 years of hs (won several regional and invitational medals in several categories. our team will be heading to state next month)
-Class Board Member for all 4 years
-Member of a club that promotes women in STEM for 2 yrs
-2 yrs of volunteering as a math tutor
-Psychiatry Internship over the summer
I just want to see if these ECs are any good
I think that they are just about as good as any other high school student.
What year are you in high school? If a senior and in the maelstrom of the current admissions season, this post cannot really be helpful. Anxiety reducing for the next two weeks, sure (and I can respect that). If a junior or lower ("[t]heatre for all 4 years of high school"?), your ECs show that you are a high-achieving student in general. For that, well done! You should be proud of yourself, no matter what any college might say. BUT. Without something “shiny” or some more developed interest, the written components of your application gain “exponential” influence (for example, your essays, GC letter, teacher LORs). Good luck!
@ChartresBlue Yeah I’m a senior and this post was in fact for anxiety reducing haha
