<p>What ECs get you into college? None, if your scores, GPA, and rank aren’t up to snuff. </p>
<p>Assuming everything else is in order, your ECs should reflect your own interests. As a freshman, you have the luxury of time on your side–join any club that interests you! By the beginning of sophomore year, you can par your list of clubs down to two or three that interest you. Your interests may take you outside of school sponsored clubs as well; that’s fine! Just make sure you aren’t involved in so many things that you can’t commit meaningful time to each one. Your ECs should reflect your interests and passions–not what an adcom “wants” to see–so no one on CC can really recommend any for you. It’s up to you!</p>
