<p>Ok Im gonna be a junior next year, but here is a list of the stuff i have done outside of school:</p>
<p>And also does stuff you do in your free time count as EC? or does it have to be something official like volunteering</p>
<p>Freshman:
Varsity Tennis
Piano
took college class (M11c AKA first half of Precalc)
Part of ST. Pius Youth Ministry
(Won two tennis tournaments I know this probably doesn't count)</p>
<p>Sophomore:
Varsity Tennis
Piano
Took college class (M112 AKA second half of precalc)
Took summer course AP calc
Volunteered
Part of Youth Ministry
National Honor society</p>
<p>I know my ECs aren't that great but I was just looking for some feedback on what I could do to make them stronger</p>
<p>Well I did them all over the place like at marathons, in oregon we have the portland marathon, or at a kids day festival for the rec centers in my area, food drive, basically just stuff I found online, or heard about at school</p>
<p>what do you mean by real? Is it necessary to list all the place where I volunteerd? what proof do I need for colleges to know I actually did the volunteering?</p>
<p>something unusual and special that most other people don't have.</p>
<p>Almost everyones in NHS, most people do some form of music, everyone volunteers at places, most people have some form of athletics and your summer courses aren't special at all.</p>
<p>Not meaning to be harsh, but nothing stands out. With those ECs they will hopefully be the low point of your app with other stuff shining above them.</p>
