<p>There are all these "rate my schedule" posts, but extracurriculars are just as, if not more, important.</p>
<p>So on a scale of 1-10, 1 being horrible and 10 being Ivy League material, rate the extracurriculars above you. If you wish, post suggestions for improvement. </p>

<p>I know it’s not much but I missed tennis team tryouts because for some reason people think it’s a good idea to have tryouts in the summer when people don’t know about them.</p>
<p>I’d give you a 3 too, no community service? Sports? I have no doubt that those three things you do are big time commitments, but they’re all academic clubs and there’s not much variation.</p>
<p>For the OP I would have given an 8 actually not a 3.</p>
