Chances? Extra Curriculums for applying to Prep schools for TSAO

<p>I don’t have many extra curriculums to offer to these schools, but this is what i have done.
Martial Arts- black belt for ~ 5 years ( not anymore )
2 music instruments
one) 1 1/2 years, i forgot most of it now though
two) 1 school year
MUN 1 school year ( not very significant
This math program for 1 school year
This science program for 2 school years
I speak fluently 2 languages, and i’m in my 2nd year learning a 3rd
i play a little b-ball and i love recreational activities ( i do nearly every weekend)
I go to Church sometimes T__T
i am mixed</p>

<p>i have nearly a 4.0 GPA now, and above a 3.5 in middle school
haven’t taken the SSAT nor any interviews, (( living overseas and need FA</p>

<p>i’m not sure i have much to offer, but would i be considered?? i don’t think my EC’s are great either, but i really want to go to the school and i haven’t been able to do EC’s cuz the distance from home (( i know it sounds like an excuse but i live faraway~</p>

<p>honestly it depends where overseas
does the school have a student from there?
r u a minority?</p>

<p>ur ec’s dont show commitment</p>

<p>What do you mean that you don’t have ECs? Earning a black belt and speaking two languages with a third on the way, is pretty impressive. Much more impressive than being president of French Club. You just need to do a good job of talking about the things you do. If you degrade the experiences the way you have here, then you’ll really hurt your chances.</p>

<p>thanks, and i’m pretty sure they have my ethnicity represented so i’m not a minority. FYI: asian/ american;
how would i make my EC’s stand out? would they ask me these kinds of stuff during the interview?</p>

<p>The interviewers ask something like “What do you do outside of school?” And that is when you will need to tell them of your extracurricular activities. I had a few interviews, and that was what the interviewers asked me. Other than that, it’s just a casual conversation. :)</p>
