<p>Hi. So I'm going go be a senior and am curious about EC'S. I have done nothing for EC'S except for 22 hour's community service. I am aiming for my hs GPA to be about a 3.2. But I'm Also going to a JC and have to take SAT, certainly not feeling confident there. So with that said am I wasting my Time applying to these colleges? In order of wanting to go:
Washington
Boise ST
Gonzaga
Portland
Oregon
Oregon State
Long Beach State.
Please help and thanks alot</p>
<p>A lot of colleges, and most probably all of the colleges on your list, don’t consider ECs in admissions. You should be more worried about your GPA and SAT than your ECs.</p>
<p>What seizes your imagination will affect everything! It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.</p>
<p>That quote is from Gonzaga’s admissions page and shows you the sort of student they are looking for. They are going to want to know what you do with yourself and how you make an impact on your world.</p>
<p>You can look at the application for each of these colleges. If they ask for EC’s then at least some attention will be paid to it. Univ of Washington wants you to ‘tell your story’ so having EC’s will help do that as well as your essays.</p>
<p>What do you do after school and in summer?</p>
<p>I go do homework and them stay home for the rest of the day.</p>
<p>CSU Long Beach, like all CSUs except SLO, uses only GPA, SAT CR+M or ACT, major applied to, California residency, and local area residency to determine frosh admission.</p>
<p>Google the Common Data Set for each school. Section C7 shows what is used in admission.</p>
