How re my ECs?

These are all typical ECs with the typical level of leadership/engagement. For 95% of the colleges in the country, they are fine - they don’t help or hurt. 100 hours of volunteering is likewise nice, but not uncommon. For the most selective two dozen or so colleges, these are just average or slightly less than average.

So what are you trying to accomplish here? What’s your objective? If you are having fun, learning, developing new skills, meeting interesting people, testing your limits, being creative…then I’d say your ECs have accomplished your objectives and that should be it’s own satisfaction. If you are doing them to be impressive, that would be a waste of time and opportunity…and you are missing the mark.
