Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>I posted this in another area but it barely got views and since this part of the site gets alot of views I'm trying my luck here:</p>

<p>Just wondering if my ECs are good enough, I can't really do anything aboutthem because I'm a junior so just give me your thoughts:</p>

<p>VIP- Volunteering is Priceless (9,10,11,12) President (2 years) over 300 hours
Public Speaking (10,11,12) President (2 years)
Literacy magazine (10,11,13) Editor (2years)
Creative Atoms Chemistry club (11,12) treasure (1year) probbaly going to be vice president next year
Rutgers upward bound (9,10,11,12)
Library volunteer (11,12) over 90 hours will have more come this summer</p>

<p>Work:
Backers Parent Teacher store (11,12)</p>

<p>Also:</p>

<p>Art clubs a thousand paper cranes project (11)
3 credits from Rutgers in a humanities course
And 6 credits fom NYU Tisch for a screenwriting and playwriting (this summer)</p>

<p>I'm looking at Yale, NYU Tisch mostly, just really wondering If my ECs are good compared to others and how can I improve it.
I did do tennis this year but I dont want to do it next years because I hated it, however should I??
Also I ran for student council vp in my school but I'm pretty sure I will not win because it's a big popularity contest in school, so should I just take my name off??</p>

<p>Thank you in advance</p>

<p>There is no such thing as a bad EC! If you are passionate about what you do, all your EC’s are “good enough.” </p>

<p>Your job, as an applicant (at Yale or anywhere else), is to write about your passion for an activity. You can either write about it in the 150 word Common App EC essay, or somehow address the topic in your Common App Personal statement. If your most loved EC is basket weaving, you could write a great essay on the topic and gain admission to any college. Remember, there is no set “formula” for EC’s – and one EC is not “better” than another.</p>
