Hi everyone,

I just made this account because I’m very worried about how my lack of extracurricular activities can stop me from getting into a more competitive college. I’m currently in the 11th grade. I want to go into the Engineering field (not exactly sure which specific area), hoping that I might have a chance gaining admission into Boston College.

Here are my extracurriculars:

9th grade:
-I participated in the NYSSMA (a New York music adjudication event. You basically play a piece on an instrument and a judge scores you) festival. I played a level 6 piece (the highest) and received a 96/100.
-I did distance track
-Altar Boy

10th grade
-In the summer before 10th grade I volunteered at a hospital for like 6hr/day, 5 days/week
-I took up JV tennis
-Altar Service

11th grade:
-This is very embarrassing: In the summer before 11th grade, I did almost nothing.
-Joined a newly formed chess club
-JV Tennis
-Altar Service

Thoughts?

Have a great day,
Andrew
