<p>Dude,I can handle my e.c.'s and get good grades at the same time.
****!</p>
<p>That’s crazy, oh my god.</p>
<p>I hate it when they say I don’t have ANY EC’s nor a life.</p>
<p>Idk. I get so frustrated!</p>
<p>
Fixed.</p>
<p>Not sure if you meant to come off that way, but you did.</p>
<p>I guess I kind of did mean that…</p>
<p>its so annoying like all my friends think I’m crazy because I’m going to do 4 or 5 sports next year</p>
<p>yeah same… we do what we want and are capable of.</p>
<p>Lol. My daughter gets that. She is a dancer.</p>
<p>exactly what I’ve been telling people</p>
<p>My friend recently called me “inconsistent” because I run track, play tennis, edit the school newspaper and play in an orchestra</p>
<p>I hate when people tell me I am involved in absolutely nothing, because I know it’s true, and I know it’s gonna suck when I’m applying to college. I’d much rather have it your way; there’s nothing wrong with doing too many activities. I literally do one: Speech and Debate.</p>
<p>Will having virtually no ECs mess up my chances of getting into schools of Tulane’s selectivity and up? </p>
<p>I have placed third in the regional National History Day competition.
I’m in NHS, hopefully one of two Junior Representatives (I’ll know Sunday).
I took golf lessons from an LPGA pro.
I’ll be an Eagle Scout.
I’ll have attended Summer@Brown for a 3-week course on law.
And next summer I’m applying to the PAGE program, and if that doesn’t work out, I’ll take classes at LaGrange College (decent school, look it up if you’d like), and get some sort of internship. </p>
<p>I know I haven’t given any other parts of the application stats, but hmm, I don’t want chances, just opinions about my (crummy, in my opinion) ECs. Is it actually worth it to pursue more? Ohh, and sorry for interrupting the thread’s intended purpose, best of luck to all!</p>
<p>which LPGA pro did you take lessons from?</p>
<p>Lol I have never heard anyone say that… ON CC, IT’S USUALLY YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH</p>
<p>Summer Sirmons. I don’t play competitively though. I could’ve been playing tournaments if I hadn’t broken my wrist in september, after that I stopped practicing… I could still make the golf team easily, but I don’t have time to go to practice everyday. So yes, note that it’s not playing golf I’d note as an EC, but the actual golf lessons.</p>
<p>O I know how bad injuries are for golf, I’m going through a back injury right now and it’s completely destroying my game. Well if you started practicing again you could try to get recruited. It’s not that hard to get recruited for golf. That’s what my sister is doing right now and she’ll probably go to UPenn(Wharton) or if she can get he SAT a little Higher, Harvard.</p>
<p>Don’t you hate it when your friends won’t stop telling you how unimaginably good looking, witty, and charming you are?!</p>
<p>My left shoulder’s bad too, I broke it once (it actually pops and grinds while doing push-ups), but that was like that before I took lessons, so I learned to play well that way, but I broke my right wrist after taking lessons, it completely ruined my game, in my opinion. I can still shoot lower than a few others, but it disgraces me, my game’s current state of disrepair… It’s like so much is wrong that I don’t know where to begin. Except I DO know that since breaking my wrist I try to draw the ub back way too quickly, and I tend to impact the ball inconsistenly with my putts, which is odd, putting used to be my strong point. Well, I might actually try to begin practicing again. Hmm, but can anyone tell me how good those ECs are, I mean, do I need to rush out and apply for everything ASAP? Ohh, and good luck with your back injury, I know how bad that can be. But look, at least neither of us have it as bad as Erik Compton, thank god.</p>
<p>I’ve heard this ‘too many extracurriculars’ garbage, but I heard something new today: Everyone was talking about test prep, and I joked that all next year I was going to live in a prep book of some sort.
Me: Yeah, I’ll start prepping for the PSAT, then the AMC, then the State academic competitions, then the ACT, and then the AP tests. <lighthearted, joking=“”>
Person: Why? <astonished>
Me: Because, the higher my scores, the higher my chances of being accepted into Harvard. <neutral tone=“”>
Person: You know what Harvard’s going to hate? The fact that you won’t have a single community service hour. <rude, matter-of-fact,=“” in-your-face=“”></rude,></neutral></astonished></lighthearted,></p>
