<p>I don't have much community service and volunteer hours, so I was wondering whether this would affect my chances at universities such as UMich, UIUC, Purdue, etc. when I apply this fall. Thanks. </p>
<p>Probably not, but do you have other ECs?</p>
<p>@DrGoogle Yes I do have other ECs with leadership as well, but I have not really achieved anything extraordinary in them. </p>
<p>Don’t worry, a high school student is not supposed to achieve anything extraordinary. My kid didn’t have extraordinary ECs either but she got into 2/3 of those schools on your list. The 3rd one she didn’t apply, that’s why.</p>
<p>Thanks, that was a relief. </p>
