<p>Thanks for making this thread! I am also in a similar situation! I don’t feel like I have enough ECs and such… we’re in the same boat. But I’m not applying to the same schools as you… so yeah.</p>
<p>How to improve, how to improve… well I feel like it’s late to start a new sport or extra curricular in order to use it to show it off for boarding schools. Just to start for knowledge of new sports is fine, but for boarding schools: I feel like they want to see long term things. They want to see your commitment and such… eh but at the same time, starting new sports could mean a new, sparked interest in that area. Ah my goodness. I’m so confusing… 
well anyways, good luck. I have no idea what to do about improving in time for boarding school purposes. >.< </p>
<p>I know that didn’t really help your question, but I just find it more reassuring if someone’s in the same boat as me. Great minds think alike, right? (Is your school hard? Then your grades are great. If the school is okay, then you’re still good. 
Occansional bad grades is natural. Learning process.)</p>
