<p>I've heard so much that colleges would rather have an applicant with 2 or 3 ECs that they are passionate in, rather than a dozen that don't really have to do with each other, right?
Well I'm a freshman so I'm trying to figure out what all i want to do the next 3+ years [since the year's coming to an end].
But I'm interested in many different things that don't have to do with each other..!
I like French alot, I want to be pre-med, I like being on the yearbook, I think I'd like to do track if I could get in shape, and I love animals. But if I'm in the French club (officer or not), volunteer at a hospital and join a medical club, am an editor/the editor of the yearbook, do track and get things for that, and volunteer at an animal shelter, I would be passed off as someone who doesn't have one or two true passions. One might say to pick two or three and forget the rest, but I want to do all that^!
Answer please.</p>
<p>Well, I mean, I think you can still do those things and still be really passionate about two or three. It's not the fact that you are doing so many, but just making sure that you are passionate about a few. I think that you sound most passionate about the french and animal shelter (which could certainly also be medical in a sense), but it's really up to you. </p>
<p>If I were you, I'd say do all, but don't mention all of them in your essay or something, just try and mention whatever you are TRULY passionate about, and put your most time into that one activity.</p>
