Will these extracurriculars be enough?

<p>Hi guys</p>

<p>I am a sophomore in the MYP program and I go to a small IB school where they basically have five clubs, no kidding. I have done the following in my middle school and high school years. </p>

<ol>
<li>National Spelling Bee (winner went to the American Bee in D.C.)</li>
<li>Student Tutoring club for past 4 years</li>
<li>Individually tutored a kid for 5 years</li>
<li>Model United Nations</li>
<li>Varsity basketball and volleyball</li>
<li>Invitation to Global Young Leaders Conference (I probably won't be able to attend for family reasons :( )</li>
<li>Participated in a designing machines contest</li>
<li>Won my grade and gender's annual school cross country meet. </li>
<li>Volunteered frequently with an organization which cleans the neighborhood</li>
<li>Backstage helper in my school concert</li>
</ol>

<p>There is a student council but I'm too scared that nobody will elect me... Will universities even consider the fact that I stood up for elections?</p>

<p>Grades: Math 6, Science 7, Eng 7, Foreign Lang 7, Art/Music 6, P.E. 7, Tech 7, Humanities 7
SAT: 2130</p>

<p>So, my question is will these extracurricular activities be enough for me to even CONSIDER a top school in the US (like MIT, let me dream :P)? Or will I have to build this up? I'm just afraid that I'm too late... I basically have a year to make any additions.
Are community/leadership activities viewed better than sports teams?</p>

<p>Repost your ECs without anything you did in middle school (colleges only care about what you have done in high school). That being said congrats on the SAT!</p>

3

<p>GPA please…</p>

4

<p>thankyou!</p>

<p>Sry Catria my school does not have a GPA system…</p>

5

<p>MIT should be reachable…</p>

<p>It looks like you are really involved and they are more than enough for 99.9% of the colleges out there. The problem is that for Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, MIT, etc. they are not so good. You effectively joined every club in the school (like you said). There is no detectable theme to your EC’s, and it does not look like you have found an interest that you are pursuing. This is the exact opposite of what top schools like.</p>

<p>Honestly, it would look much better if you did one or two things and dedicated a lot of time to them.</p>
