<p>Below I will post my info but my main question for this thread is should I do as much volunteering and EC's as i can, or just do what i like in the time frame i feel is comfortable for me to have free time? I have pretty hard classes and I go to a very competitive school and my gpa is not a problem but i am a bit unsure for what i do out of school. I mean i do lsome things but i feel im not putting all the time i could into what i do out of school. I want to go to an excellent college and im fretting over my lingering time in hs (although im only in 10th grade). Please leave a comment on my the best option is. Thanks!</p>
