I find it hard to believe the college or the hs really cares if you quit any activity UNLESS you are the president of it or you used that activity as a primary way of getting into the school, ie, playing an instrument and the school wanted you for that.

you have to realize that they cannot go back and research thousands of kids now. they are already looking at the next group for admissions. i don’t think it is fair to call someone a liar for saying he is in a group and then that person decides to quit. if it is a waste of time and it is not rewarding, quit. if you did it so you would have a ec for your app, don’t feel bad. lots of others do that. lots of teachers recruit kids for clubs for that very reason. and don’t you thing a college knows that when a kid puts a million ecs on the app that the kid is not passionate about all of them? remember, they say they are interested in the long term commitment to a ec, not every ec.
