<p>Okay, so I'm involved in the following activities:
Student Advisory Council
Student Government
Class of 2009
Debate Club
Mu Alpha Theta
National Honor Society
Rho Kappa (Social Studies Honor Socity/Brain Bowl)
Spanish Honor Society
Varsity Soccer
Varsity Lacrosse
NFTY (Jewish Youth Group)</p>
<p>Now the thing is, my activities don't really show passion. The reasoning is that I really don't have a passion, I don't know what I want to major in, and I have no idea what I want to be when I'm older. I guess my passion could be like academics/leadership/sports. but I don't know if colleges will interpret this that I'm trying to form a laundry list of EC's, which I'm actually not because out of the 10 activities, I'm highly involved in 8 of them and have leadership positions in 4.</p>
<p>Most colleges care virtually only about grades, curriculum, and scores when it comes to admission. Only the very top colleges --places like HPYS -- have such an overabundance of highly qualified applicants that those colleges can care about something as squishy and rare as "passion".</p>
<p>Colleges look at your EC's to get a better picture of who you are as a person. Your EC's show a diversity of interest, but in a good way. You don't have just one EC here, another there, and one way the heck over yonder. Some students pad their resumes with scattered EC's to show how well-rounded they are, and they end up with a fragmentary picture that only shows a student trying to appear well-rounded. But your EC's fall in clusters that do demonstrate real interests. Don't worry that they don't all fall in math/science -- your record shows strengths in a lot of areas, and the admissions people know how to read that.</p>
