<p>Eh, my apologies regarding the length!</p>
<p>Alright so ECs are important to adcoms, so if someone would be a doll and tell me if mine are up to par, hopefully they're well above par, but you catch my drift. Keep in mind I am only displaying the clubs in which I was an avid participant and contributed the most to (and of course the ones I enjoyed the most). </p>
<p>By Senior year:
4 years of Spanish Club, 2 of which I attended a Spanish Conference (will be 3, but my applications will have been sent in already). I anticipate being elected for an officer position Senior year. To correlate with this I will have been a member of National Spanish Honor Society for 2.5 years. My love for Spanish is complete with a total of 5 years (Spanish I, II, Honors III, AP Lit, and AP Lang). I love spanish! </p>
<p>2 years of Gay Straight Alliance. I cofounded it sophomore year with a friend, we also worked as copresidents. I will hold an officer position this year as well. I am passionate about GSA because my school lacks a great deal of tolerance and I cofounded the GSA as an homage to students who have been bullied by peers. I also cofounded it as an homage to my brother who experienced a lot of bullying when he was in high school due to his sexuality. Unfortunately the club may be unofficial senior year because our sponsor is moving and the lack of factulty support is quite evident. I have silently protested for 4 years against descrimination of sexuality on Day of Silence.</p>
<p>2 years of a student AIDS relief org. I am cofounding it this year (11th) and the proceeds will be sent to national organizations. I was inspired to cofound this org. after watching a cnn documentary on HIV/AIDS. </p>
<p>NHS for 2 years. I am planning on running for an officer position both junior and senior year. By senior year I will have recieved 500 hours volunteering at a hospital in addition to community service projects affiliated with NHS (in other words we cannot recieve all 25 hours doing one thing). Is it bad that the majority of my hours are in one thing?</p>
<p>I worked two jobs as a sophomore (Kumon and a grocery store). This was one of reasons why I didn't participate much in school activities, in addition to personal problems that year, but I'm hoping to make junior year a successful one. I will continue working these jobs throughout this year. The primary reason for having 2 jobs is to gain work experience, responsibility, and appreciate money and the work force. It also helps that the jobs are foils of each other.</p>
<p>Piano for 3 years. Although I don't play in recitals and whatnot, I love playing and I play for patients in the hospital. Music has always been very much apart of me, but freshman year I was unable to continue on with band (major bummer with schedule) and my sophomore year I fell into some difficult times, so playing has pulled me out of the funk. It's been a highly positive influence on me.</p>
<p>itd help if we knew what intended major or career field u want to go to</p>
<p>You sound passionate, interesting, and inspired! If you can convey a strong sense of yourself in college applications/essays, and if your grades and test scores are good, I think you'd make an impressive candidate for many outstanding schools. Good luck!</p>
<p>it sounds passoinate</p>
<p>Thanks for the positive feedback, it's very much appreciated and helpful. I am pleased with my grades as of now and I am very proud of my interests and activities, but because competition is so great to get into college, a student must be extraordinary, so I'm hoping for good test scores (tests which have not been taken yet, October most likely) and a great essay. </p>
<p>Ambitiousteen, I am planning on becoming a lawyer, but I'm very devoted human interest projects. But I feel that my ECs reflect matters I find important and connect to rather than what I plan to be, if that makes sense. A debate club is starting next year so I am planning on joining (we have a debate team at school, but my schedule is filled up to the rim), so I am also planning on spending a good deal of time with that since it relates to my ultimate goal.</p>
<p>well, to be honest, if you have ECs that reflect your career path, it shows more passion cuz thats what you want to do in the long run no??... short term passions show lack of commitment... if carry all these ECs with you that would be great, but im not sure if you will... it shows a short term passion... thats all i see... you have great ECs but admissions people do like focussed people am i right... and if you do focus on something, it reflects in a long term, that you will carry it on when ur in their university... </p>
<p>Nonetheless, you do have 2 unique qualities- the value of open mindedness shown through the Gay-Straight Alliance, and your value of caring through AIDS awareness. I say the rest are well, no offense, what every other american child has when they want to go somewhere big in life.</p>
