<p>GPA is a 4.0 unweighted and I took 1 AP class sophomore year (only one you can take) and 3 AP classes junior year (couldn't take calc or language because not advanced enough in math and had to start a new language in high school) and looking at 5-6 AP classes next year. 33 ACT (taken sophomore year, taking again in June going for a 34). Excellent EC's if I may so so myself. Great recommendations. I'm a great writer so hopefully great essays. Haven't taken subject tests yet, but hoping for a 750 in both Bio (M) and Math II. Also, bilingual (can speak, read, AND write another language) Applying for biology major, so hopefully not a huge factor.</p>

<p>I'm also extremely conflicted about stuff to include on my Apps. I mean, I am president of 3 clubs (one of which I founded), and have been for 11th and 12th (before VP, treasurer, etc.)) which I am truly passionate about, but I don't want to seem as though I'm padding my resume. One of the clubs ties in very well with other ECs, one to personal experience (mental health), the other to the minor I'm hoping to pursue. Any advice?</p>

<p>Dont feel as though youre padding your resume unless some of the clubs you genuinly didnt feel you had an impact on. Also its very good to focus or “point” your ECs and show that you are dedicated to a few key passions rather than being a jack of all trades. </p>

<p>@sloth83 I think within my extra curricular activities theres definitely 2 main focuses (one of which is music, the other has to do with my desired career path) so hopefully I’ll be okay!</p>
