<p>Okay, so here's the scoop. I'm looking through the things I've done throughout HS to see what I should put under my ec's. I then realized that I had a very large amount of Ec's. It isn't that I did things simply to fill out a line on the app, it's simply that I tried a whole bunch of things. Here, allow me to list everything I've been involved in:</p>
<p>jazz band (9,10,11)- lead tenor in jazz
marching band (9,10,11)- section leader
pep band (9,10,11)- section leader</p>
<p>Spring play (10)- I played Tom Snout in our production of Midsummers
Summer musical (10)- pit orchestra</p>
<p>Soccer team (9)
lacrosse team (10,11,12)
Baseball (9,10)- just rec league, not very good, but I love playing</p>
<p>KMO (11,12)- knowledge masters open, not terribly time consuming (we only meet 4 times throughout the year, not even really a club)</p>
<p>NHS (11,12)- President, I am very hands on with the outreach we do and try to attend every service project I can, HIGHLY INVOLVED</p>
<p>Medical explorers (10,12)- group dedicated to exploring the medical field, also not terribly time consuming, (1 meeting a month, plus job shadowing)</p>
<p>Religious youth group (9,10,11,12)- very involved in my church and youth group</p>
<p>SMART team (12)- starting next year I will be part of a protein modeling team at MSOE</p>
<p>BEAMR (11,12)- (founding member) research project with the Medical College of WI (highly respected in proteomics and genetics) in which we studied the salivary proteome. Most meaningful thing I've done</p>
<p>DECA (10,11,12)-business club at school. I'm a competitor and have got to the state level and the international career development conference</p>
<p>A political organization my friend is creating at school. Brand new, has no name yet, he has selected me as VP. In conjunction with Republican Party of WI.</p>
<p>I've also done quite a bit of volunteer work (will be volunteering at Children's Hospital) and have two jobs (one is an on/off babysitting gig and I am also a cashier at our local grocery store)</p>
<p>Basically I'm curious as to what I should really put on my app (in an attached resume). I already know which ones I'm putting down as important to me (on the common app), but I guess what I am asking is, should I put everything down? Also, should I put down things that are just beginning at school this coming year (like my buddy's political organization)?</p>
