I was one such example. I did everything from sports to music to yearbook to volunteering to stugov in high school.

When I applied, I thought the best strategy is to focus on different ECs for different components of the application + interview. I didn't want my list to sound like a laundry list, so I thought that if I was able to articulate on why I did all of the things I did, it would convey my enthusiasm for learning outside of the classroom. I guess it worked, but this is something you can consider.
