<p>hey, i was just bored so i found a copy of the common app that my guidance counselor had given to me and flipped through it to the EC section. I realized I onlly have 4 EC's [excluding clubs which i am just a member of]. is this substantial for going to top schools ie. im looking at dartmouth, northwestern, columbia, etc.</p>
<p>Paper [I am starting after AP exams]: [grades 11/12] 10 hrs/week << I tried doing it before but found i had no time, neither did anyone else. its a paper about global news and why ppl here (often quite ignorant, at least in my town) should care.</p>
<p>Question about the paper: how do i convey to the adcoms that i started the paper late in junior year, as in how do i put that on hte app where it says approx time spent?</p>
<p>Fed Challenge Team: [11/12]: Team was only founded this year] 10 hrs/week </p>

<p>Investment Club: [9-12]: 3-4 hrs..President.</p>
<p>BBTV (school tv): [first real year of hte club] [11/12]: Producer of the main project 4 hrs </p>
