<p>if you’re a junior, then it’s too late to join anything else without making it seem like you’re just doing it for college.</p>
<p>if you have anything you’re truly passionate about, go pursue that instead of joining another random club.</p>
<p>every other club your school offers you because you know the more clubs the better right cause you know colleges LOVE people who are so active and passionate about everything that they have the time to join every club the school has to offer.</p>
<p>Not necessarily. Colleges are looking for passionate students who pursue a path in activities they enjoy. Just selecting random clubs to be in is just showing a college that the applicant is just interested in trying to be in all possible ECs and thusly not truly passionate about a certain thing..</p>
<p>i was being sarcastic…</p>
<p>Well, I would add one math/science club, and keep in mind what everyone else has said. The problem with club is colleges don’t know if it means 30 mins during one lunch, or an hour a day of dedicated pursuit of knowledge. And if your transcript is the typical scattershot… hmm… they will assume that you spend like 30 mins in it. ESPECIALLY if you just do it your junior year. Don’t join 5 more clubs, I would just join one in a math/science type, one in the languagey type, one in the leadership type, one in the service type, and one serious, heartfelt, important club in whichever area you love. </p>
<p>I think it’s good to have like 3 of the normal BS prestigious clubs and then 2 clubs that are YOU that you can write about. And be the leader of 1 or 2, not 0 and not 5-6. I would say the ultimate club list would be 1 that you founded and are passionate about, 1 that you joined as a freshman and worked your way up to leader, two of the ‘Teams’ that actually compete and you can give them concrete ‘state runner-ups’ or whatever, and two of the sandwich-eating clubs that you title ‘Student Volunteer Club’ and ‘Business Club’. </p>
<p>All of this was just my opinion by the way, I, like the rest of everyone on CC except a few, really don’t know what the HPYS admissions officers really use to choose.</p>
<p>The thing that colleges look for is quality, not quantity. For example, I know this senior at my school who got accepted at a number of Ivies and was only in 2 clubs, but was truly dedicated to both of them, whereas this other senior got rejected by all but one of the Ivies he applied to and was in 5-6 clubs. So, I wouldn’t recommend doing too many; just stick to a few that you’re really passionate about. Hope this helps! :)</p>
<p>…join the ones you care about.</p>
<p>Colleges don’t have checklists of certain clubs. Most of the character attributes that you can show through clubs - leadership, dedication, etc - you can show through any club. Some, like specific academic interest or social responsibility, you can only show with certain clubs, but even for those, there’s generally a wide range to choose from, and you can also show them without clubs. The point of clubs is to do things you enjoy with other people.</p>
<p>That amount in my opinion is enough…if not too much</p>
<p>Do what you love; if you’re passionate about it, it will show.</p>
<p>The fact that you’re asking the question means that you’ve joined enough. If you had an interest in more extra-curricular activities, you would have partaken in them already! :D</p>
<p>Colleges care far more about what you do and learn in your ECs than which ECs you participate in or how many you participate in.</p>
<p>Frankly, since it seems you want to be a CEO, I’m surprised you don’t have a job. Any job would help you learn about business.</p>
<p>thats enough…really…just get some leadership positions thats more important xD</p>
<p>A bit irrelevent, but what exactly do you do in the club rebel? It sounds intriguing that I want to form one next year haha </p>
<p>Btw I agree with the person that said “Do what you love; if you’re passionate about it, it’ll show” don’t do what you think colleges would like to see. Do what YOU like.</p>
