ECs all in one place?

Applying to College
1

<p>I have two or three ECs from school, but most, let's say 7 out of 10, ECs were done at my church.
I'm rather church and religion-oriented so I've been dedicated to it.
It even played a factor of me giving up the principal violin position in a local orchestra (because there were too much practices on Sunday. Can I mention this in the additional information section?).</p>

<p>But is it bad that nearly ALL 4 years of my ECs revolve around church?
Would the colleges think I'm lying? Or would it be viewed as dedication?</p>

<p>In addition, half of those ECs at church have to do with children lol.
I guess you can say my activities aren't really diverse. </p>

<p>thank you!!</p>

<p>I don’t think having a focus in one area would necessarily count against you, and could help you with regards to schools like Georgetown and Notre Dame. I mean, if you were the leader of your youth group or something that would probably be better, but if not, I don’t think it’s a deal-breaker.</p>

<p>Ivy League schools are highly selective and it’s kind of a crapshoot as to your chances–I would check your school’s Naviance or past acceptance data to see where you fall.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>
