<p>Is being an Eagle scout and the founder/president of a Rotary Interact club enough for ECs? Does piano help at all?</p>
<p>You will survive. It may not seem like it at times, but you just keep going and tackle one thing at a time. It will be brutal (often) and you’ll frequently have 5 tests within 2 days, but somehow you manage.</p>
<p>Last year (I was a junior) I had 6 APs, was asst. editor for the yearbook, finished my Girl Scout Gold Award project, was governor for the Interact district/president of the club at my school, completed Certificate of Merit level 10 for the piano, and studied for the SATs, SATiis, and AP tests. Oh, and sometimes I got a little sleep. </p>
<p>It probably wouldn’t have been as bad if I hadn’t procrastinated. I would highly recommend avoiding procrastination, i.e. turning off facebook and getting as far away as possible from your computer or anything that could (and will) distract you. </p>
<p>Some weeks will be better than others. You will quickly learn which days are harder than others (does your school do block days? or do you have every class every day?) and then you’ll adapt to balance your time. </p>
<p>btw, it seems like we have really similar ECs lol</p>
<p>it depends by school. at my school, ap classes are so easy (rigor wise) that the homework is pretty minimal. doesnt help our average scores though.</p>
