You never want to make excuses on your application. Choosing to focus on your academics and not making your own EC’s is a fair choice. I personally think it’s fine and great to apply to high end schools with those stats but be realistic at the same time. You might be in a fabulous position to take advantage of honors programs that might rain money down on you. There are many ways to get an excellent education and being about to graduate debt free is a HUGE gift.

My homeschool junior has a crazy number of EC’s. Tons of music (3 instruments) and musical theater. Leadership boards on community theaters, etc. There is stuff out there and it doesn’t need to be traditional stuff that school kids do.
