<p>so i've been reading a lot of stats on this, and everyone seems to have a lot of ec's .. but i feel as if it is quality, rather than quantity .. but i'm not sure if these clubs i have here show 'dedication' .. or if it's just TOO little of extracurriculars </p>
<p>major clubs i'm in:
*<em>future doctors of america
*</em>women with a cause
**key club</p>
<p>minor:
-jv tennis freshman year
-asian culture society & chinese culture club
- various community service</p>
<p>& will be volunteering @ hostpital & doing yrbook club jr year</p>
<p>if you post exactly what you do in each club and how much time you put into them it would give CCers a better idea of your ec's.</p>
<p>the thing is, i do not hold any leadership positions
however, ive participated in many of the activities i could say</p>
<p>meetings for each club are usually held about once or twice a month & i usually go to all of them ..</p>
<p>in future doctors of america, we listen to guest speakers who have experience in the medical field, and we listen to lectures about the different aspects of the medical field .. we've taken field trips to various places, and had a couple of labs which resemble some of the things that doctors do</p>
<p>in women with a cause, we raised money for patients of breast cancer, as well as other projects to help women in need</p>
<p>in key club, we did various community service activities such as raising clothing and items to send to iraq .. we will me doing more as last year was when the club was founded</p>
<p>thanksss.. & ideas would be helpful !</p>

<li><p>Most colleges give ECs no or very little weight in admissions. The ones that do tend to be places like HPYS or weigh ECs mainly for merit aid consideration. ECs are NOT important at all for virtually all public universities, which make decisions overwhelmingly based on stats.</p></li>
<li><p>For most colleges, your ECs are fine. If you are planning on applying to top colleges, however, your ECs would be weak because of lack of top leadership experience.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Even if you have no interest in top colleges, you may still find it helpful personally to get some leadership positions because if you really do leadership in them (instead of using them simply as resume dressing), you'll develop leadership skills that will serve you well for the rest of your life no matter what career you decide to pursue.</p>
