Dilemma about extracurriculars and already-submitted apps. HHELLP??!?

Applying to College
1

<p>Okay, so, I have read that a commitment in 1 or 2 clubs is more favorable by colleges than a long list of extracurriculars. As a result, on college applications that I have already submitted, I put in the extracurricular section that I have been in Key Club for 3 years and Ecology Club for two. Also, I put that I have been a lifeguard at a waterpark for 3 years. However, I have been in 2 other clubs but I didn't want to include them since they didn't survive past sophomore year. Looking at this site, I see many other applicants putting like 7 or 8 ECs and I feel stupid only putting 2 or 3 on my apps. </p>

<p>I put in the "honors/awards" sections that I am in National Honor Society, French Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, and Mu Alpha Theta but I am not sure that these would be considered ECs or anything. I have a 3.9 GPA, got a 25 on my ACT and all I want to do is go to James Madison or Virginia Tech!! How does this sound? Should I be worried?</p>

<p>I would not worry about going back and adding in freshman/sophomore year activities at this point. My D did not put all of hers on (she did debate and theater crew for a year or two, and did not include them). But there was one thing she did where they made it to the state tournament (but she quit after sophomore year), and she did include that one. Except for that, she left them off anyway. I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>
