<p>Obviously, colleges love ECs that show passion and talent for the activity. However, right now, I am in a variety of different ECs but I don't feel like I am really excelling in any of them. The only thing that I feel I am really good at is quiz bowl, but my school lacks the background nor other members (as it is a group event) to make me outstanding at it. </p>
<p>Currently I am doing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Quiz Bowl (planning on being co-president)</li>
<li>Debate</li>
<li>Orchestra</li>
<li>Literary Magazine (will be assistant editor next year)</li>
<li>Swim Team</li>
<li>Youth Legislature</li>
<li>Math National Honor Society</li>
</ul>
<p>Next year, I am also doing:</p>
<ul>
<li>National Science Honor Society</li>
<li>International Club (club founder)</li>
<li>Model UN</li>
</ul>
<p>As a senior, I am also planning to do:</p>
<ul>
<li>National Honor Society</li>
<li>National English Honor Society</li>
<li>National Spanish Honor Society</li>
</ul>
<p>I guess what looks really unfocused is all of my National Honor Societies. I don't think they particularly influence admissions (especially the generic National Honor Society), but I think I would just like to join them anyways for the cords they give at graduation. Do you think I should do this, or would it be better to not join them in the first place?</p>
