Well, ECs are a huge part of the admissions process, from what I gather. However, a lot of kids come from schools that don’t offer many, like you. If you want to stand out, though, why don’t you try picking a few of the things you’re interested in and start up clubs at your school? If you want a school newspaper, find an advisor and a team thats interested and meet weekly to start planning it! Also, try getting involved in the community - join or lead community-wide service projects, take up an outside hobby, get a job or internship, or whatever else. You’re a rising senior, so this may be hard to do in the final year of HS, while you’re juggling all those apps. See what you can do though.

Okay, so this wasn’t really an assessment of your chances, was it?
