Thank you !!! <3

being a member of a club doesn’t count and honestly looks bad (if you’re only a member that is, and you haven’t done anything else). also - tf is deep springs? You definitely have a spike in music so that could carry your ECs. Subject tests are on the lower side, but you have a chance. Good luck!
