I also enrolled in some history,French (french 1-II), and physics classes at a local CC while in high school.
I didn't participate in heaps of EC's and I held no positions in the clubs I was in at school. I come from a poor family. I worked and then I went home to watch my 5 younger siblings at home. My mother had a stroke after the birth of the youngest, she is not incapacitated (and still has a job) but she needs some help.

I was prepared to stay in city and go to CUNY City because I was not going to have my parents shell out $$ for me to go to school if I could go for free. But due to the new financial aid polices, Im going to MIT.

Be yourself in this college game. I know many people who believed if they killed themselves with EC's, AP's, and other activities and classes they only took so they could look good on paper they would go to HYP and other such places. In the end they only felt disappointed. take classes you find interesting and don't lose yourself. In the end, people have to be rejected and don't take it as an assault on your character or ability your be a good student. If a college doesn't want you their loss. You make the best of college, college does not make the best of you.
