<p>How do you plan to be active in college?</p>

<p>I plan to be a lot more active with ECs during college. I'm pretty sure my lack of ECs is the weakest part of my application, but it was strictly because of time restraints with other obligations. </p>

<p>I'm not scouted or anything, but I'll probably give the swimming and baseball team a shot if there are walk on tryouts.</p>
