My Extracurriculars, and their Ostensible Weight

Hi,

In earlier posts, I mainly discussed academics, however now I’m wondering about EC’s. My workload is truly rigorous, filled with electives, an AP, and 2 self-study courses, all honors courses. I was pondering how “average” these EC’s appeal, or whether one stands out:

Freshman Year:

Choir
Science Club
Science Olympiad Team
National Language Arts League NLAL Top 10 in Country
NYC “Enviro-thon” 2010 Team

Sophomore Year:

Science Club
Science Olympiad Team
Science Research Club (Working on Westinghouse)
Phoenix Newspaper
Varsity Competitive Swim Team
JV Debate Team

Electives:

Online AoPS Intro to Geometry ( and self-study Algebra 2 and Trigonometry)
Journalism
AP World History

SAT 2’s to be taken at the end of Sophomore Year:

Chemistry (Maybe.)
Modern Hebrew (Definitely).

Next year will have much more in store, consequently, but is this list nice? I could have joined (and still can) numerous other EC’s, but I weren’t passionate about those. Everything on the aforementioned list is a passion or a habit. If anyone recommends something, I’m very open to advice. Please criticize, praise, or give feedback. Thanks!!
