<p>So I'm kind of in a bit of trouble with my ECs. I'm a junior and shooting for a top school (Ivy, NESCAC, etc). But, I feel like my ECs are weak. I spend a lot of my time playing softball, and I'm looking to get recruited. However, I'm not sure that will completely work out. That being said, I want to be able to get into one of those schools on my own, so here are my ECs.</p>
<p>9th Grade- softball, volleyball, Girl Scouts Silver Award, Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth
10th- Mock Trial (I quit this year, I simply couldn't handle it it was AWFUL)
Model UN (but not overly involved because softball doesn't allow for free weekends)
Johns Hopkins CTY
11th- Model UN
Peer Tutoring (only about 30 minutes once per week)
Work- 3 hours once per week I work giving lessons to little kids at a softball facility
Girl Scouts- still technically in it but not doing much
NHS
Johns Hopkins CTY</p>
<p>The thing is, the Model United Nations kids aren't people I really hang out with. My only friend in the club quit, and I don't see myself having fun going to an entire weekend conference without her. But, I feel like I can't join another club this late (I won't have leadership in MUN anyway, ugh) because it will look like I'm trying to round out my application. So I am not enjoying myself and I won't be able to get leadership anywhere. Also, I think it might be too late to try to do my Gold Award for Girl Scouts. Basically, I'm torn and swamped and confused and starting to panic. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you so much!</p>
