please help rank order of ECs and cut some out

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I've read here that:
- ECs on the common app should be listed in the order that will hold the most weight with schools, probably the ones that show leadership.</p>

<ul>
<li>It's better to focus on some number (2, 3,4, ?) of ECs to show passion rather than a laundry list of ECs.</li>
</ul>

<p>Here's a total list of ECs, what do you think would show best at LACs and what should be left out? </p>

<p>tia,

<p>gay straight alliance - 4 years, co-founder, president
philosophy club - 4 years, founder
debate club - 2 years, founder
school government - vice president
destination imagination - four years, finished 4th out of 20k teams one year
varsity tennis, 3 years, all-league
shakespeare club, 4 years, appeared in annual productions
school dramas - appeared in annual productions
improv troupe - four years
cacti - four years
