What’s seen as better on a college app a part time job and some dedicated EC’s with school or more school related EC’s. I currently work around 15 hours a week at a retirement home to raise money for college and to get money to fund my trip to germany this summer. I also participate in school things such as german honors society, german club, special olympics, fbla, (sports at my school are tough to make considering the size is around 3200 students). Is this better or equally as good as having a bunch of strong school related EC’s or worse?
<p>colleges stress depth over breadth. do whatever you can distinguish urself in. if you can gain officerships in clubs, thats probably better. but if you can get community service awards, thats just as good.</p>
<p>doing what interests you is most important. doing stuff you dont feel passion for usually doesnt get you far, just cuz its hard to act ur way to distinction.</p>
