1. I would agree that you should talk to your guidance counselor. Perhaps you should tone down the rigor your schedule a bit.

2. Many (not all) schools do want some meaningful ECs. They are not looking for drones who just go to school and do homework. If yo do some research in your school and in your local area, you can probably find some meaningful ECs that don’t take up a ton of time (ex. volunteer at a soup kitchen monthly, do Habitat builds etc.) High School is not just a time to get good grades in hard courses for college, it is also a time to grow, to develop interests/passions etc.
