How likely is it that I'll get into UW without extracurricular activities

<p>I'm a highschool sophomore and I really, really dislike clubs, however I actually want to join National Honor Society but I doubt I'll be accepted since I'm an average student and not smart enough. But I can cope with community service, in fact, I'd rather work my butt off volunteering than joining after school clubs. Would I get accepted into a decent college, say, University of Washington, without extracurricular activities? Or is community service equivalent to it? </p>

<p>I feel aimless, yet capable of many things. Sometimes dropping out of highschool crosses my mind. I'm Asian and my parents expect so much out of me, but I'm just an average joe. I can't afford college, and I doubt I'll even get a scholarship.</p>

<p>Background info:</p>

<p>GPA as of now: 3.5
2 honors classes English and Social Studies
Taking business law as an elective</p>

<p>No extracurricular activities, no community service hours, no sports involvement as of date.</p>

<p>With a 3.5 your chances of UW aren’t great. Their average gpa is 3.7-3.9 and even kids with 4.0s have been rejected for lack of ECs. Test scores will play a role too, but any school that values a well-rounded individual will be disappointed by kids without ECs.</p>
