<p>It’s not that your ECs lack focus: I see music, govt., and depending on how much time you put into it, either the arts or church. Group them together so you show the ‘themes.’ </p>
<p>Then look at your themes and figure out how you can make contributions in each of those areas that will differentiate you from all the thousands of kids who also do the same activities. It takes a lot of time, creativity, hard work, and insight to make a lasting and/or meaningful contribution in an area (let alone in 3-4 areas), especially when you are already up to you neck in school work, college selection and exams. It isn’t necessary to do it either, unless you are shooting for a very selective school. Decide what your priorities are and spend your time accordingly.</p>
