ECs

Transfer Students
1

<p>In terms of extra curriculars...I'm not sure how I'm faring...
I work 10 hours a week
am a member of my current school's Presidential Honors Program, which is quite time-consuming
Volunteer as a member of the Best Buddies club (where i'm paired in one-on-one friendship with an adult with disabilities)
And I tutor weekly as a member of an organization that serves at-risk elementary student</p>

<p>Though these are all definitely lengthy time commitments, I'm not sure they are unique enough to make me stand out. Any advice on what I could get involved in at this point to really help me on the process?</p>

<p>How much do my high school ECs still count? I'm a freshman in college...</p>

<p>Colleges don't want to see somebody that has two dozen ECs and spends no time seriously involving themselves in any of them. Having a few that you are passionate about and take up alot of your time is good, especially if they find a way into either your essay or the letters of recommendation you get. I will say though that your grades and what your profs write matter the most, so make sure those are solid before stressing out over anything else.</p>
