<p>I'm VERY involved at my school--not primarily because clubs and leadership positions look good on a college resume, but because I am interested and passionate in a variety of subjects. However, because the college admissions see so many superficial applications with "fill-in" and guilded clubs and leadership positions, I don't know if I'm going to stand out as being genuine or not. I am wondering if my clubs reflect my passions to a stranger. </p>

<p>I am interested in political science, law, music (classical), with business and philosophy mixed in. I'm planning on double majoring in piano performance and political science.</p>

<p>I know that Math Club and Film Club are a bit out of left field, but the math club interests me because it puts math in a different perspective out of a high school classroom. I even got to give a lecture of the mathmatics of chords in music. Film Club was started by my best friend and we watch really great, artistic films.</p>

<p>It does seem to be approaching the line where adcoms would view it as an obsession with "looking good" in their eyes. I would submit at most 5 CORE clubs that you hold leadership positions in that are pertinent to your intended major.</p>
