<p>You’re fine, as long as you’re passionate about all those things and dedicate a substantial amount of time to each.</p>

<p>FYI, filming a b-ball game for a parent isn’t an EC. It’s doing a favor for someone (unless it’s a paid job, in which case I would list it as “private business filming sports games”).</p>

<p>Bottom line: don’t do any ECs you don’t want to, just to please college adcoms. Seriously. Do what you want to do, period.</p>

<p>There is no required EC for Ivies or for that matter any school. Only you can choose ECs that mean something to you. Do whatever you are interested in and not try to do so sing to impress a college. Sometimes, something as simple as a job can be an important activity.</p>

^ I wouldn’t bother to list this as an EC… You might mention it briefly in an essay if it relates to what you’re writing about, but it’s not significant enough to mention as an EC. At first glance, it seems a bit desperate as if you are just trying to fill your activities list.</p>

<p>I’m sure your activities are fine. As long as you enjoy what you do and can reflect that in your essays, you have a shot anywhere.</p>
