<p>Blah. Am I doing the classical "breadth not depth" thing... again?</p>

<p>I'm in ... </p>

<p>Music:
APAC Band
SE East Asia Honors Band Festival
Tri-M Honor Society</p>

<p>Then i have random community service...NHS member...</p>

<p>Science Fair captain and going to a science fair too...
Math Contest AIME qualified last year...this year about to go. </p>

<p>THEN APAC/China Cup Forensics (Debate) ... Quarterfinalist in the former, about to go to the latter. </p>

<p>Is this too unfocused? O=O=O=O=O=!</p>

<p>you don't know my ECs they're EXTREME.. too many and so little time..lol</p>

<p>Pfft, we're all that busy. I'm doing research (presenting at science fairs, JSHS, etc in a few weeks), playing guitar/managing my band, possibly volunteering in an abroad art school during the summer, writing for the school paper, volunteering in music therapy sessions, etc. </p>

<p>I like the small ECs a lot though. yay for environmental club that meets three times a year! lol</p>

<p>woo APAC :)!</p>

<p>The only way to not worry about ECs are to not do them! I've got what...volunteer hours, and that's it. Let's see where that gets me.</p>

<p>GET THE **** OUT OF NHS.
now.
it is a complete waste of time.</p>

<p>I have my main extra curriculars, like ballet, Quiz Team, volunteering with Community Action Team/in general, that take up considerable time. But I also have smaller ones like Ski Club, Math Team, Piano, and viola. I guess I have some depth with those ones too. I've been playing piano since I was 6, and playing viola and skiing from the age of 12. Well, oil painting. That's a minor one.</p>

<p>So they are OK right...?</p>

<p>WHY DO YOU NEED YOUR ECS APPROVED BY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET?!?!?</p>

<p>Colleges care about ECs because they want to see WHAT. YOU. DO. WITH. YOUR. TIME. As in, HOW YOU WANT TO SPEND YOUR TIME. Not as in WHAT YOU THINK WILL LOOK GOOD. OR "FOCUSED ENOUGH."</p>

<p>Srsly, I really hope people like you don't get into college.</p>

<p>lol 10char .</p>

<p>Trust me, as long as you show you have interests in your clubs, you're fine. If you have specific interests, like in science, don't join writing club so you look well-rounded. If you do have varying interests, the world is your oyster!</p>

<p>Poseur -- don't misunderstand ^^</p>

<p>I like knowledge in general, and am the kind of person doesn't like to be an underdog in any subject. </p>

<p>Obviously no one can ever do that, but I still have the unconscious incentive to try to do as much as I can. </p>

<p>I want to know if it's focused enough given that, to see if I'm okay. </p>

<p>It doesn't hurt to know if it's too focused or not, right?</p>
