<p>So I had posted a similar topic in this thread - but I had asked for you guys to chance me in UGA and GSU, based mostly on my grades/tests.</p>
<p>But I’ve been wondering if my EC’s give me any support - I just want to make sure UGA really sees me as a well-rounded student. So here are all the activities I have done out of the classroom:</p>
<ul>
<li>2 years in JV Soccer
*won award for Most Improved</li>
<li><p>became captain for one year</p></li>
<li><p>2 years truly involved in BETA club
*elected as officer and committee leader 2nd year</p></li>
<li><p>State finalist in French for Governor’s Honors Program (do you think that even though I didn’t get in the program, it will still be an advantage? after all, I was almost in.)</p></li>
<li><p>participated in exchange program with students in France (we hosted them last year and this year they will be hosting us there)</p></li>
<li><p>Member of French Honors Society and maybe French club/National Honors Society (those would be only 1 year)</p></li>
<li><p>Won 1st place in National French Contest and won 2 Honors awards from my French teacher </p></li>
<li><p>Gave a small speech at school Assembly and presented MLK Humanitarian Award to my soccer coach (does that even count… ?)</p></li>
<li><p>Helped out at a Soup Kitchen in Downtown Atlanta during the winter and volunteered for FOCUS (children with disabilities)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>About this last point, how do they count as EC’s? Do I need a signature from the organization’s representatives in order to verify my involvement with them? I don’t know how it would work since it’s nothing related to school.</p>
<p>Also, I have never had a job so no work experience. I don’t know to what extent they consider that important. Should I consider a job or will the absence of one not hurt me?
Thank you all!</p>
