<p>What's mainly missing here is any longterm committment or accomplishment in a single activity or direction. Are there any activities that you have sustained throughout your high school career?
I think your chance would go up considerably if that were the case.</p>

<p>I agree. Your ecs take the "shotgun" approach, that is, being superficially involved in many activities. A long term ec in music is good, but many people have that.</p>

<p>I see, you're right, unfortunantely its too late now. But thanks a lot for your help. Are 2 yrs and 1/2 in german a long term commitment? lol two years for me is a long time lol</p>

<p>You will be applying against people who have been taking foreign languages for at least 5 years.</p>
