Will my application look bad if I quit this club ?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I'm a rising Asian female junior in upstate NY (close to Manhattan though). These are the extracurriculars I'm doing this year. </p>

<p>-Music (viola since 4th grade)
Community youth orchestra; principal viola, since last year helping to organize and fundraise for an orchestra trip abroad. Equivalent to founding a club. (since 9th grade)
Composing a piece for my school orchestra this year.<br>
All county, other music festival, All state alternate (hopefully I'll get in). Also district orchestra</p>

<p>-Photography; Class at Parsons the New School in 10th grade, started a blog then. Planning projects on redefining and reclaiming beauty with teenage girls this year. Maybe will enter in some contests</p>

<p>-Dance (starting this year. I know it's late but I feel extremely passionate about it.)<br>
Hip hop dance classes
School step team (starting this year)</p>

<p>-Girl Scout Gold Award work this year. At least 3-4 hours every week. Planning volunteer program and teaching younger Girl Scouts. </p>

<p>Also, I'm going to try to become fluent in Spanish and take the National Spanish Exam, and also learn computer science on my own this year. </p>

<p>**** (this is the one I want to quit) Quizbowl Varsity Team. I'm second or third best on the team, I like to study and learn about new things, and I won an intraschool competition as captain of a smaller team. I'll probably be captain as a senior, but I like learning more than I like the club. I don't really get along with the advisor or the current leaders. </p>

<p>If I quit the club I could pursue music, photography, and dance more, which are things I really love. I could also learn outside of class more independently. </p>

<p>But I'm afraid if I quit, the teacher, who will definitely teach me AP Calculus in 12th grade, will dislike me even more. I'm also wary that I won't really have leadership positions in school. People say that passion matters more than leadership. </p>

<p>What do you all think? Will I be okay if I quit the Quizbowl team and lose my one possible leadership position, but replace it with things I'm very passionate about? </p>

<p>Bump</p>

<p>Uh…I guess you could drop it, though I’d advise sticking through it if you’re really the 2nd/3rd best in the team as you say(more for the sake of the school/team rather than yourself). </p>

<p>Anyway if you choose to drop it, you can just not put it in your clubs/activities section in the common app. I’d recommend reposting this question in the college admission topic, since here you’ll really only get advice for current HS students like myself.</p>

<p>Okay, thank you</p>
