could you answer me a question which bothers me for a long long time?

Applying to College
1

<p>im currently a junior.and i want to go to ivies. </p>

<p>i did not really do so much ECs in my freshman and sophomore year. i only joined like two or three clubs and participated in my school orchestra. and received an award (but this is not a personal award,this is for the whole orchestra, DOES THAT COUNT AS AN AWARD?) </p>

<p>this year,i still stayed in the same club and the same orchestra, and i do participate some clubs that are OUTSIDE the school. also, I MAY become an officer (which means leadership) in my club.</p>

<p>do you think my ECs are extremely weak? </p>

<p>(assuming that my scores are OKAY)</p>

<p>I think Colleges look more heavily on Junior and Senior years. It won't be a perfect application but try to join as many as you can this year.</p>

3

<p>You only need one or two activities that you are really serious about. It can be just one if you are hugely serious about it - this is often referred to as having a "passion".</p>

4

<p>my two activities that im really serious about is astronomy and music.
is that good?</p>

5

<p>It is that issue of passion versus a hundred EC's.</p>
