I’m VERY involved at my school–not primarily because clubs and leadership positions look good on a college resume, but because I am interested and passionate in a variety of subjects. However, because the college admissions see so many superficial applications with “fill-in” and guilded clubs and leadership positions, I don’t know if I’m going to stand out as being genuine or not. I am wondering if my clubs reflect my passions to a stranger.

I am interested in political science, law, music (classical), with business and philosophy mixed in. I’m planning on double majoring in piano performance and political science.

I know that Math Club and Film Club are a bit out of left field, but the math club interests me because it puts math in a different perspective out of a high school classroom. I even got to give a lecture of the mathmatics of chords in music. Film Club was started by my best friend and we watch really great, artistic films.
