Do I need to be more involved?

Applying to College

<p>I'm going to be a junior in high school. I switched schools before my sophomore year, and my new school was very intimidating. Because I was having a hard time adjusting to the new environment, I only did three extracurriculars. I know that I have to step it up for junior and senior year. How much more involved do I need to be?</p>

<p>Freshman Year:
Choir (was selected to be in an advanced choir the next year but switched schools)
Student Council (was re-elected for the next year but switched schools)
Scholastic Bowl</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
Neuroscience Club
Drama Club
Discussion Classics (a selective literature club)</p>

<p>Junior Year (here's what I'm planning):
Neuroscience Club (I'll be on the board as Secretary this year)
Drama Club
Discussion Classics
Model UN
French Club (I've been taking French for four years)
Amnesty International
Habitat for Humanity (wanted to do this last year but was too young)
Key Club</p>

<p>I will also be tutoring students at my school's Writing Center. I applied for the position and was selected.</p>

<p>This summer I will be spending a month at my high school tutoring students in English. I applied for that position and was selected. When that month is over, I will have 150 hours of community service logged (and I only need 100 to graduate). I am planning on getting 50 more before senior year.</p>

<p>And, of course, I've been playing the piano for about 10 years.</p>

<p>Do I need to be more involved? I know my Freshman and Sophomore year ECs are really weak.</p>

<p>Your ECs aren't weak! You will be fine. Any more involvement and your ECs might look too scattered.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!
Anybody else...?</p>

<p>You're fine. I only reported 2 school clubs on my apps and it worked fine for me. Of course, I was ridiculously involved in both :P</p>
