<p>I'm a Junior in HS. Up till now I didn't know what I wanted to do in life. So a lot of my classes and ECs are all over the place. But this year I finally found an even balance. I discovered Rowing and Writing ( I know it's an odd combination but I enjoy them both). I want to maybe pursue in both after HS but I don't want my application to look empty (since I just found what I like to do) or like a laundry list (since the majority of things on my app would be unrelated). What do I do?</p>
<p>Turn it into an essay?</p>
<p>Well rounded can be good. Just be honest and list the top activities that are most important to you or demonstrate your best charcteristics.</p>
<p>Yes an Essay!!..it’ll be interesting because your activities are already an odd combo.</p>
<p>Thanks for the comments</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>Spend some time in the next 9 months demonstrating that you really are passionate about writing and rowing. Contribute to literary magazines (or start one), take classes on memoir writing, intern at some publication or other, go to a rowing camp (do they have them?!?), etc.</p>
