Financial Aid for International Students

It seems Macalester offers a substantial amount of financial aid to internationals.

These are my grades and EC’s:

My GPA is 3.72, however I’m ranked 4/83, maybe #1 had a 3.8 GPA.
EC’s: Here’s my problem. I don’t have much EC’s because my school didn’t have any activities whatsoever. I know this is not a valid excuse though. Anyway, my only real activity is really good I would say. I go on Saturdays to a rural community some miles from the Honduran capital city Tegucigalpa, to take food, clothes, books, occasionally medicine, etc to the poor community. Actually, this is my Common App essay subject.

Do you think not having many EC’s will hurt me?
