All right so i’m a junior preppin up for the college stuff, and I’m wondering if ivies care more about academics or about extra-curriculars

i’m a stud academically, (4.0 unweighted so far, dont know my weighted but I got a 5.0 this semester, 240 PSAT, 35 ACT)
locked up a leadership position(NHS vp right now, should be prez next year)

but the problem is in my extra-curriculars, swimming and music. although i’ve been swimming for 10 years and have played the trumpet for 8, i’m not like nationally ranked or anything. I’ve been in varsity in swimming and in my school’s top band for my first two years, but no honors.

thanks for any help
