Just my EC's Please!

<p>Hello, I'm currently a junior and I am trying to maximize the value and quantity of my Extracurricular activities. I've seen the amount of constructive help that many people receive on this site so I figured I would give it a try! Thanks in advance for your input.</p>

<p>My EC's are as follows:</p>

<p>-2 years JV, 2 years Varsity hockey. Were pretty good. Have a solid chance at regionals this year. (all Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter seasons) I don't plan on playing in college though</p>

<p>-Participated in many Triathlons/Bike Races. (10th-12th) Have won first place in my age group a couple times.</p>

<p>-Ocean Bowl Junior/Senior year. (Captain both years)</p>

<p>-Science Olympiad Sophomore/Junior/Senior. (Definable leadership roles my Junior year, possible captain Senior year) Have won events at regional level and hopefully state level this year.</p>

<p>-Model United Nations Sophomore/Junior/Senior. (Possible Captain Senior year) Have won awards at a state competition.</p>

<p>-Freshman Big Brother Program (11th-12th)</p>

<p>-Culture and Community Committee (Nominated by faculty, 10th-12th)</p>

<p>-Sophomore Mentor (11th-12th)</p>

<p>-Student Ambassador (Nominated by Counselor, 10th-12th)</p>

<p>-Work at Medical Supplies Company during the summer (Full Time). Make deliveries during school-year. (9th-12th)</p>

<p>-Work at Gym as an athletic trainer for middle schoolers involved in sports ranging from soccer to hockey. (10th-12th)</p>

<p>-Volunteer at Hospital in the Intensive Care Unit (roughly 250 or more hours by application)</p>

<p>-Marine Biology Trip to Florida (9th) Very fun, learned about Ecology and Marine Biology through scuba diving and such.</p>

<p>-Ecuador/Galapagos Trip (11th). Also very fun, learning more about rainforest biology and the marine biology on the galapagos islands.</p>

<p>-Rescue Certified Scuba Diver</p>

<p>-Dual-Enrollment Student at a local 4-year University, took Psychology and Biology2 the summer before my junior year.</p>

<p>Those are all of the ones I can think of. NHS will come senior year and I think next summer I will try and participate in a mentor/internship at a hospital or with a doctor. Other than that though, I know I can't write all of these Activities on my application so I was wondering if anybody on this forum could give some feedback and tell me what I should talk about or if there are any things in general I should look into. I am very science-based and I plan on going into something neurological in college (with chemistry as a second focus). </p>

<p>Thanks a lot for your help!</p>

<p>My weaknesses I think are in my lack of distinguishable awards, as well as the fact that not all of my EC’s are focused on neurology. I wish I could find something that was :/</p>

<p>Ahh I forgot a very very important one! I am a board member on a non-profit organization separate from the hospital that raises thousands of dollars a year for cancer research.</p>
