So, I started most of my ECs in my junior year (except orchestra), which is BAD because it means that I have only 1-2 years of participation. The reason for this was because I moved high schools two times: once after freshman year and once after sophomore year. Could I put this on my app as a reason for a lack of consistency in my ECs? In sophomore year I joined the environmental club and the school paper (Spectator), but it was difficult for me because I had to adjust to the culture shock. I had to readjust again in junior year when I moved to another school. Just a bad situation overall. How will admissions officers view this?
Here’s what I got:
ECs/Actitivies:
- 2nd Violin Sectionals Teacher (2 years)
- Orchestra (4 years) First Violin (2 years)
- Science Olympiad (started this year, placed 3rd for an event)
- President of the BioChem Club
- Vice President of the Physics and Astronomy Club (2 years)
- Captain of the MUN Team (2 years)
- PAAC Club (2 years)
- HOSA (started this year)
- Developing an app with three other students for the safety of Alzheimer patients
- A few sports, but they were very on/off (track, soccer, fencing 1 year ea)
- Environmental Club (1 year - Sophomore year)
- School paper (1 year - Sophomore year)
You should be good, provided you explain!
