<p>How strong are these? I'm going to be helping with a mayoral campaign for the next month, hoping for around 50 hrs..but how strong are the above ECs?</p>
<p>I don't think you seem very devoted to them...Sorry, but you were only in some for a year or two...It also really depends on the school you want to go to.</p>
<p>Well, i'm a junior now and my reasons for not being in them before are:</p>
<p>Freshman year I was stupid about these things
sophomore year JSA wasn't formed (I was cofounder) </p>
<p>but other than that, you're pretty much right, spanish honorary/JSA are the only ones i'm really devoted to.</p>
<p>Yeah...Depending on what school you want to go to, try to really emphasize some of your ec's and show devotion to them.</p>
<p>not even going to lie... besides co-founding something, your ec's are pretty lame. you shouldve played golf all three years</p>
