You have too many ECs. Don’t list all of them on your application or it will negatively impact you. Think about it, let’s say all of the ones you “lead” require 5 hours a week:

• Milton Paper (senior editor)
• Asian Paper (editor in chief)
• Asian Society (managing)
• Investment Club (head)
• Key club (head/founder)
• Student Tutor (head)

That’s thirty hours a week, and that is a low ball estimate. If you spend less than 5 hours a week and you “lead” the club, then it’s most likely just a resume booster and you shouldn’t list it anyway. This is not including your online business, wrestling, school itself or family obligations that you might have. Not to mention the clubs you’re in that you don’t lead.

Too many ECs. You have a good chance though. Just refine your application and you should have a great chance. Just my $.02.
