If you don’t mind me asking, what is your current rank, and are your grades all/almost all A’s, or are there a lot of B’s or lower? In addition, were your previous AP scores mostly 5’s, or were there some 4’s, 3’s, or lower?
</p>
<p>38/883, all A’s, two 5’s and a 4.</p>

Are you involved in choir outside of school?
</p>
<p>If you mean beyond my school’s choir, then no.</p>

Oh and it seems as though you are only debating whether or not to keep choir because you do not have a lot of ECs. This makes it seem as though you are only doing it for college, so I would say it only do this if you TRULY enjoy it. You know how most on here say to only do the ECs you actually enjoy. BTW, because it seems as though your post hinges on what seems more impressive college admissions, have you ever thought of trying to get recruited for cross country/track? What are your times?
</p>
<p>I’ll be fast enough to walk on to most college teams, but not fast enough to be recruited. And I do truly enjoy choir; very much so. At the same time, however, I want to challenge myself academically.</p>
