Are these extra curriculars good?

Applying to College
1

What I’m doing now as a sophomore:

  1. Advanced Hip Hop dance class (6hrs a week)
  2. Paid assistant dance teacher (3hrs/week)
  3. Tech Editor @ Key Club probably president next year
  4. President and Founder @UNICEF Club (1hr/week)
  5. Sophomore Class Leadership Deputy Student Site Council next year and hopefully School Board Rep senior year
  6. NHS member (1hr/week) 7.Greek Lessons (3hrs/week)

Should I be doing more? Are these good extracuriculars for Ivy leagues and colleges like Pomona ?
What stands out?

An extra curricular itself doesn’t stand out unless it’s something incredible (like curing cancer etc., internationally ranked hobby)
It’s your essays that go in depth about your Extracurriculars and what makes you different from the other applicants.
Your EC’s seem fine, but there’s no such thing as “Ivy League” extracurriculars.
First off, Ivies will be looking at academics to make sure you can handle the university’s academic rigor. They look at EC’s to make sure you were involved in some way with the community. They look at your essays to determine if you’re the type of person they want.

I could be tutoring (trying to find a generic example here), but if I write great essays explaining how my tutoring was different from other people’s tutoring, how I made a significant impact on the community through tutoring, and how I grew/matured as a person through tutoring, then that’s what really matters and the really selective universities like the ones you mentioned weigh essays very heavily when it comes to the admissions process.

But dang, you seem like an extremely busy sophomore.
No you should not do more. Doing more would spread you too thin if you were to be heavily involved in each.

What would you do if us strangers told you NO, these are subpar extracurriculars? Would you drop them? Or would you give us the finger and tell us that you love your interests no matter what anyone thought. Those are the things to put your energies toward.

Your dance involvement stands out. But can you do more with it? More dance performances, awards, reviews, etc.

I disagree with rdeng2614 and agree with fogcity. You shouldn’t do more – you will stretch yourself thin. You may even want to drop some of what you’re doing. You need to pick one or two things that you’re particularly passionate about within your list and become EXCELLENT at them. Win awards or join state/national versions of these organizations. If you are aiming for Ivy League, it’s not enough to do stuff – you need to be have acknowledgements that you have gone above and beyond in the things you do.
