How do non school ECs and athletics affect my chances?

<p>I have little involvement with school activities, but am wondering if non school activities makes up for this.
I have weekly involvement in a food drive in a low income neighborhood and do volunteer work at a childrens hospital on a regular basis.
As far as athletics go, I have been doing the same non school sports consistently for 11 years and even train younger children and help out the coaches when I can.
Do these make up for/ replace lack of school involvement?</p>

<p>My grades and test scores are great too, but I have always been worried about my weakness in the above mentioned areas.</p>

<p>I doubt there’s anything wrong with having any non-school related ECs. Whether it’s at school or not, it’s an EC.</p>

<p>Though when you put it as “lack of school involvement…” hmm.</p>

<p>Well, I’d say it’s fine.</p>

<p>Whether in school or out, it’s the quality of the EC that matters, not where it takes place.</p>
