Anybody else applying with no EC's?

I’m so nervous about ECs. I just got voted in VP for psych club and secretary for GSA, I do a bit of volunteer work helping children who have difficulty with reading, and I babysit my siblings (two are special needs). I talked to a Berkeley admissions counsellor about this, and all she said was that my ECs are weak. Eugh.

I’m trying to apply for a volunteer position with kids with special needs to get just one more thing in there, but I don’t know if I’ll have the time for this! WHY DOES THIS ALL MATTER? If you have like, a 3.9, do they still care about ECs? :/
