hi! this is my first post and first time on CC. I am a sophomore at a very highly ranked medium size public school in NYC. my grades for freshman year were ~95 and I’m really trying to get a 97 average this year. My extracurriculars are mountain biking for last year and this year and getting 4th in the state, im trying to ideally win this year. I’m also going to nationals this July though I’m not expecting much. I also row and though I haven’t competed yet (the season is in spring) I’ll likely have stats to share from that. I’m in wall street club, newspaper, and women in business at my school and ideally I will get leadership positions in those clubs next year. other than that I have little extracurriculars. any ideas? opinions? anything helps, thank you!
Enjoy High School! Don’t overschedule yourself! You look fine! Just keep those grades up and ask for help if you think you need it!
To me the only question regarding ECs is whether you have the right number, or too many.
Exactly.
With regard to extracurricular activities, you should do what is right for you. Then whatever you do, do it well. If you get into leadership positions, then listen and pay attention to what makes the activity better for everyone, or at least nearly everyone.
To me it sounds like you are doing very well.
