I have pretty low extracurriculars...?

Applying to College
1

I haven’t been very involved in my high school opdue to being pretty shy for the start of my freshman and sophomore year. I’ve tried to turn it around, but I feel like it isn’t as diverse as I would like especially from someone looking at it in college admissions. My average currently is 3.5/3.6 on a 4.0 scale. Any thoughts/ advice since I will be applying to colleges next month.

I’m mostly looking at SUNYs and CUNY’s since my mom doesn’t want me going to any universities because of costs unless I get a full scholarship which is highly unlikely

I think you are fine for ECs for those de colleges.

My D had less ECs than you and got into lots of schools. I think you are good.

I haven’t got into any of them, I’m applying around November! But ty for your insight

Agree, you should be fine for the schools you are looking at. And more importantly remember on the application the you want to highlight what you HAVE done.
