| Colleges don't expect you to stick with everything for 4 years. Life -- particularly high school -- is a time of exploration. If you find that you don't like an activity after giving it a fair shot, then move on to something else. The only possible problem would be you drop activities and end up with having no ECs, job, etc. because you don't bother to find something else to get involved with.
Anyway, most colleges use ECs only for things like merit aid consideration, not for admission. It's only the most select colleges in the country -- places like HPYS that have an overabundance of high stat applicants -- that use ECs as part of admission because such colleges have the luxury of selecting students to create classes that are diverse in all meanings of the word "diverse". |
