is my resume all-over-the-place ?

Applying to College
1

<p>Ok, in September I'm going to be a Junior, right now my average is 97 with 1 AP and 8 Honors classes under my belt.</p>

<p>SAT II Chem 790
AP World History 5
GPA 97</p>

<p>Next Year: AP Bio, AP Psych, AP English, AP US History</p>

<p>Extracurricular:</p>

<p>1) VP of Philosophy Club</p>

<p>2) Member of the 4-person Oceanography Team in school</p>

<p>3) Member of in-school Math Team (no positions, because its technically a special 'class', we have a teacher)</p>

<p>4) Speech Team (I'll most likely join next year since my Englsih teacher told me I'll be good)</p>

<p>5) I write poetry in my free time, I have a portfolio of my writings, mostly free verse...</p>

<p>6) I've won essay awards, and plan on submittign poems to contests too.</p>

<p>This summer I am doubling up at volunteering, working as a youth advocate in my neighborhood to reduce traffic in the area and promote environmentally friendly activities and also volunteering at a library (practicaly 2 blocks away). Hopefully I'll have 200 hrs by the end of the summer.</p>

<p>Also the summer, I'll have to teach myself calculus and differential equations because I'm planning on doing a physics/computer science project (like for the Intel competition)</p>

<p>So, comments?</p>

<p>BTW, shooting for Stanford(!!), Caltech, MIT(? kinda....)</p>

<p>I live in New York</p>

<p>So you see, I don't know whether I'm too all over the palce. Just so you know, I'm not trying to build my resume or anything, I really do like all of these things but I'm like a Math-Science nerd but also likes Philosophy/Poetry that kind of stuff, am I in trouble because I'm too all over the place and don't have a niche?</p>

<p>Honestly… I think if you enjoy all the things you’re doing, then you should keep doing them. It’s not about what you come off as to colleges, it’s what matters to you, as long as you enjoy them, keep them. Don’t not do something you enjoy just because it makes you less focused.</p>

<p>I think when it comes to your essays, just write about that you’re the most interested in. From what I’ve been told, don’t write about all the things you do in your essays. You can’t stand to be all over the place in your essays, hehe.</p>

<p>Yeah, if you enjoy them, do them. Don’t worry about whether you have too few, too many, too spread out, too limited… Just do them.</p>
