<p>My high school only has a few Honor Societies: the regular one, ones for the languages, and one for art. So I have a quick question: Would it look look I'm overdoing it to colleges if I were to found/preside over a Math Honor Society, English Honor Society, and Music Honor Society?</p>
<p>This is in addition to several regular clubs and extracurriculars.</p>
<p>I'm just worried that college application committees will automatically assume that I had spread myself too thin and that I had only given a little of myself to all my clubs, but I intend to spend a lot of time with each and make them worthwhile.</p>
<p>I think such a move would constitute a disasterous blow to your chances to be admitted to all-around quality schools. Founding three honor societies means nothing to schools. MANY KIDS FOUND HONOR SOCIETIES. I was reading an article by the former admissions director of Boise State University, and she argued in it that at Boise State, so many kids apply and list the fact that they founded the National Honor Society at their school, that for the entire applicant pool, NHS means almost nothing. If this is happening at BOISE STATE then just imagine the total lack of a boost that such a college-centric move would put on your chances</p>
<p>It would look like you're just interested in piling up "honors." Colleges aren't interested in students who start clubs to get honors. Colleges are interested in students who start clubs because the students are interested in providing a service or are interested in pursuing a passion that isn't basically getting themselves pats on the back.</p>
