<p>ACT will hurt you, definitely 28 is on the low end for a UC. And another note, just joining clubs won’t help your app at all. As I like to put it, a president of 10 various clubs is at a disadvantage to a president of 1 or 2 clubs. Why? For the same reason as wallrus said. A president of 10 various random clubs is showing that he has no focus, and way too many interests. Colleges want to see commitment to a certain topic. In my example, Biology. That is why I took part in lots of biology clubs in school in freshman year and narrowed down to 3 clubs I really enjoyed. Also, the EC’s will be strong, but only if they relate to the intended major. For example, you can’t rely on all EC’s in the art field if you expect to major in bio. It has to correlate, otherwise it is pretty much trivial. Back to clubs, just joining them won’t help. If you want them to count, you have to be active, take up leadership in them.</p>
