<p>I'm a Junior this year and I want to know if I'm doing enough and if I am "well-rounded" enough or too "well-rounded." Thanks! By the way- my school ends at 5pm every day, so I do less than I probably could under regular circumstances.</p>
<p>This Year:
Chinese Club (11) - I'm not chinese, by the way. Or asian.
Science Research Program (11)
Choir (9, 10, 11)
Hockey (9, 10, 11)
School Newspaper (9, 10, 11)
Translation Club (11) - Founder and Editor
School Magazine (9, 10, 11) - Editor
Math Team (10, 11)
Creative Writing Program outside of school (11)
Possibly Quiz Bowl (11)</p>
<p>Past E.C.'s: Debate Team (10), Art Club (10), School Drumming Team (9), Tutoring Middle School Students (10), and I've taken piano lessons for 10 years.</p>
<p>Summer: Camper at an all-girls sleepaway camp in Maine (9), took Advanced Creative Writing at Columbia University (10), and either: CIT at sleepaway camp, another writing program, a science/math program, AND I'm working at a lab this summer (the science research program finds lab placements for the summer). </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>im not sure if elite colleges (like HYPSM) are looking for well rounded applicants. Granted, one needs ECs; however, there should be a focus for your ECs. They should tell a story about you especially the ones that you spend a lot of time in. So i guess im saying, quality over quantity especially if your ECs are all "member of a, member of b, member of c". anyway, gl</p>
<p>Does that mean you think the stuff I'm doing is low quality? We don't really get positions in clubs till senior year. </p>
<p>And are my summer plans okay? Is it okay for me to be a CIT at my sleepaway camp this summer instead of doing something like TASP, for example? I'm aiming for UPenn/Columbia/Williams. </p>
<p>My courses this year are:
English (we're not tracked)
AP Stat
APUSH
Honors 4th Year French
Accelerated Physics
5 Religious Studies Classes (I go to a parochial school)
Art & Gym & Health</p>
<p>note: We're not allowed to take AP classes Junior year under normal circumstances. I'm taking AP Stat because I took Honors Precalc last year (AP Calc BC is next year) and I'm taking APUSH because my teacher decided on his own to prepare us for it if we get a high enough grade.</p>
