extracurriculars question, please help

<p>As I've been reading around CC and looking at all these people who ask for their chances to be evaluated, I can't help but notice that they have A LOT of extracurriculars. I go to an international school in germany, and we don't have 99.9%of the extracurriculars that the American schools offer.</p>

<p>So my question: Do American colleges take into consideration the different attitude towards/availability of ECs abroad?</p>

<p>I'm not trying to get an excuse for being lazy the last 3 years. I've joined my school's only sports team, only politics team (Model UN), and tried to continue playing an instrument (moved here from michigan after freshman year).</p>

<p>Any international students who have been admitted know?</p>
