<p>I’m not sure about how it works with prep schools, but I know for a fact that colleges don’t like it when you join every single club on the campus and don’t do anything significant.</p>
<p>I guess you have a shot and all; it seems like you do a lot of stuff, but what makes you different from everyone else? Whats your hook? You didn’t mention something that you are exceptional at, so I can’t really tell you your chances.</p>
<p>Here is something you might want to think about.</p>
<p>If you were an admissions officer for one of those boarding schools, and you had to choose between two students for the last spot, which one would you choose – the one who participates in everything and is all-around talented with those, or the one who participates only in his/her passionate subjects?</p>
<p>It’s good to be active, but joining almost every club that’s offered gives admissions officer the complete opposite message of what you want to give them. Sure, you go out there a lot, but do you like it?</p>
<p>My advice is to quit the clubs that you’re not interested in. Then focus your attention on the ones that you are interested in, and make some BIG achievements in those (ex., president of this, co-director of school play, etc) .</p>
<p>Remember, quality, not quantity. You seem interested in art, languages, sports, and community service. Stick with those. </p>
<p>You have a chance, everyone does. We can’t determine the percentile or whatever, only you can. Stand out in your essays and interviews and make them have no way to reject you.</p>
<p>WOW! I thought I had too many clubs, but man, I was way off. I think you should quit some of the clubs. I’m in JSA, MUN, Lit. Mag., Bencaleth (community service), Casitas Kennedy (community service), Film Club, NHS, and Student Government, and I am extremely involved in all of them. Its quality, not quantity.</p>
<p>Like many people have already said, you want to have a “schtick.” Something that will make the admission officers remember you. Being in every club is not going to stick out in their minds. Having a few clubs/activities that you are very passionate and involved in will really help the admission officer’s remember you.</p>
<p>I got admitted to Hotchkiss and I was only in 3 or 4 clubs at school. I did only one volunteer trip and it was to Thailand. I’m now a prep at Hotchkiss, so obviously something there helped me get in. Haha!</p>
<p>Your grades look great and knowing a second language also is another unique factor that you have.</p>
