<p>They’d probably want to see you go a bit more in depth with your ECs. Find something you really like, and put time into it so that they can tell. But you have the numbers to be competitive.</p>
<p>I agree, you may have a difficult time because your extracurriculars are not very extensive and there are no leadership positions. Unfortunately, being a junior, you really don’t have time to change that.</p>
<p>To be more specific, I am the VP of the tutoring program & I actually had a job @ a summer camp for kids during the summer</p>
<p>Also, I plan on studying Biological Sciences.</p>
<p>Might stand a chance with ED. Otherwise with recent trends it looks doubtful.</p>
<p>Hey Candystar, Ignore what these people are saying…
My ECs were very similar…My two main activities were camp counselor and math tutor. My smaller ECs were an internship and a soccer coach. As long as you spend a lot of time on 1-3 activities…that is what they are looking for.</p>
<p>I applied RD, and was accepted.</p>
<p>^ “As long as you spend a lot of time on 1-3 activities…”</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s what all of us have been saying. However, no such time commitment came through in the original post. It simply appeared OP was a member of a few, somewhat varied clubs.</p>
