Do these ECs have much weight?

Having all of your EC’s in one area is just not a good idea. Since she has time, encourage her to seek out another area of interest, join the choir, take up a sport, etc. Cross Country teams are great because everyone gets to participate and skill levels can vary widely. Only doing community service is like a child only playing one sport, not a bad thing to do, just not very well rounded for elite admissions.

Keep in mind that none of her middle school accomplishments will be listed on her applications, nor will they be considered if she puts them on there. They only want to see things she has done while IN high school.
