How Bad are my ECs?

<p>I don't really have a lot of ECs and at the same time I'm Asian so it kind of looks bad. Anyways, based on what I have so far, how weak / okay is it? Should I bulk up? I'm just hoping to get into a decent college like Syracuse or UMD CP and that these would be enough.</p>

<p>ECs:
Yearbook - 2 years (Editor this year, staffer last year).
Soccer - 3 years (JV 2 years, Varsity 1)
Key Club - 2 years (I never really paid the fee so I don't know if it counts lol...)
SGA Officer - 2 years
Science National Honors Society - 2 years (Running for a position this year)
National Honors Society - Applying this year because I didn't have enough hours.</p>

<p>To be honest, they aren’t bad. They are just pretty run-of-the-mill, similar to the 100 billion other high school students that join clubs and play a sport. So they won’t keep you out, but they probably won’t help you get in. </p>

<p>They aren’t HYPSM caliber, but, of course, we aren’t all cancer researchers and math geniuses… So don’t be discouraged! :slight_smile: They’ll be fine for any decent college.</p>

<p>What exactly are considered HYPSM caliber extracurricular activities?</p>

<p>They’re amazing. ECs aren’t that important. Get over it. Honestly.</p>

<p>Well, they’re better than the average high school student’s…They’re very SLIGHTLY below the avg. applicant to the top colleges.</p>

<p>BTW, NHS / SHS / Key Club mean next to nothing unless you’ve actually done something meaningful in those clubs.</p>
