<p>^ Cool, it takes like a day to learn all the info yourself…</p>
<p>I just took the SAT online for a practice run just for the math part. I skipped the reading because it seemed really boring. I got a 800 on the math part! :)</p>
<p>@Imsoambitious: Thats a ridiculous amount of clubs. Quality>Quantity bro</p>
<p>@Alex Harper</p>
<p>Yes I realize that. What do you define as quality? I have leadership positions in most of them. And In the ones with achievement, I have national level achievement? What can I do to stop people from thinking what you are thinking, which is an incorrect assertion? I have quality and quantity. I have a lot of initiative and ambition, diverse interests, I don’t like to sleep, and I’m ADHD in that I need to be busy at all times. It’s not like I am hoarding to look good.</p>
<p>For example, I have been involved in the founding of 13 of those clubs. I work hard in all of them. My ECs are of extremely high quality I feel, but somehow having both quality and quantity is bad?</p>
<p>Wow that<code>s awesome that you</code>re in that many clubs AND have leadership positions in most of them. That`s amazing.</p>
<p>^LOL, Its not as amazing as you think, Its because I have started most of the clubs i have leadership in. A sophomore at my school doesn’t usually get too much leadership. I go to a top 5 STEM school in USA.</p>
<p>Actually all of them, the 2 that I am not founder I got it because I was friends with the founder or chill with the moderator.</p>
<p>Still, impressive, especially that you started a lot of them. Most students just participate, let alone found a club, let alone found more than 1 club…you get the point. Yeah, I think besides student gov<code>t, there</code>s only like 4 sophomores with leadership positions at my school, and we have like 25 clubs.</p>
<p>I mean I think its impressive and don’t twist my words about quality and quantity. But I know it hurt my brother who had founded a lot of clubs and was apart of them, colleges turned him down due to this reason. But I guess if thats all you do, thats fine. I know my ECs take up A LOT of time for just one. Playing On a Junior Olympic team requires 25+ hours a month just for practice and the season runs from November to July. But whatever, so be it.</p>
<p>That awkward moment when I have more ECs than ImSoAmbitious…</p>
<p>@Hobbit, Wow that says something! LOL</p>
<p>@yerhs, I’m jealous! (SAT math part…)</p>
<p>I’m happy though because I got 92 in my first APUSH test! 
Tomorrow I have a big AP chem test. wish me luck!</p>
<p>and marching band is making me so freaking busy. But it’s been fun.</p>
<p>@Hobbiton @Imsoambitious Just to clarify, I’m not saying having a lot of ECs are bad, just making sure you are have time for all of them. Unfortunately my ECs are so in depth that I don’t have time for 20 clubs (don’t even think my school offers that). </p>
<p>@Shmluza: Goodluck!</p>
<p>Changing the EC topic…</p>
<p>Do you all have to take gym at all in school? We have to take it in 9th and 10th, but luckily, this year I get Driver<code>s Ed, which means that two days a weel, every other week, I get to get out o gym class to drive with three other kids and the instructor. And the instructor, I hear, let</code>s the kids go to McDonald`s on the way back to school.</p>
<p>Yes I have to take gym. At first my friend told me I have to do >30 pushups, and I can’t remember how many situps, etc. to get an A. I thought oh NO THIS IS GONNA BRING MY GPA DOWN! Then I realized as long as I’m making effort and have uniforms then I’m getting an A. </p>
<p>Ok, off to study for chem. (Thank you AlexHarper. 
)
BTW, ALexHarper, what are your ECs?</p>
<p>Yeah I have to take gym. Also, will colleges look down upon having so many ECs, even though you have quality in them? I was worried about that, as they might think I am not showing a direction. My ECs have variety, but the also have depth in many areas.</p>
<p>We have to take Gym in ninth grade, but half the kids at my school fail that (not kidding) and end up taking it again sophomore year. And surprisingly a lot of students like to take PE2 and other sports classes. We don’t have Driver’s ED as a class here, you can take it on saturdays or after school or during the summer. Having a permit is fun…but I’m ready for my license! </p>
<p>@Shmluza: I think I listed them on page 178, I don’t have a gazillion, but the ones I do have I dedicate most of my time to. Basically some clubs with leadership, 3 Sports one on JO level which consumes my life, Sophomore class president, musicals that also take up 3-5 hours of my day right now, Volunteering, Church etc.</p>
<p>@Hobbiton, Wow That is a big commitment. I know that I don’t have much free time and I don’t too much sleep, so you must be having a harder time. and BTW, what are your ECs?</p>
<p>@alexharper,</p>
<p>You also have very good ECs. It is a great balance between academics and sports.</p>
