Is "Transcript Padding" akin to Application Padding with EC's?

So even if it was padding, your credentials won’t be dismissed.



Fantastic point. It’s not difficult to be a “member” of five unrelated clubs that “meet” once a week for one hour. That’s application padding. What isn’t application padding is being in like three or four activites, all with a significant time commitment (like a varsity sport, academic team, job, whatever). And if these are related, more the better. Not only are college classes a major time commitment, but it seems your classes are all on the humanities side. So I definitely wouldn’t worry iiwy.
