- question: should i even bother mentioning I did track and field and x country if I only did one season? I got into an accident and never picked it back up…

I feel like I’m very lacking… I still feel like I have a chance to make my chances of getting into cmu stronger so please give suggestions!
What should I do?! Should I volunteer more?
My first year was all accelerated and I’m so upset I didn’t try harder but how does it look to colleges? Is accelerated looked down on? Can they see that I improved myself or do they not care?
From now on, every thing I do must be meaningful. Thank you!!!
