Hi. I am a sophomore in high school, and I have a 3.5 gpa, but plan on getting it up to a 4.0 or higher. I will finish high school with 7-10 ap credits, but the problem is that I don’t play sports and I am not in any clubs. I read a lot, and I play lots of banjo in my free time. I want to go to Embry Riddle, University of Louisville, or University if Kentucky. Will having no sports or not being in a club affect me?
Look at the Common Data Sets for each school. For instance for UK ECs are only considered. http://www.uky.edu/iraa/cds/2013-2014-first-time-first-year-admission It will be a factor but not an overriding one. You don’t work or volunteer at church?
I forgot, I am in ROTC at school. Also, I am going to try and volunteer more and get a job at a car repair shop.
I’m in the same boat, I’ll be a junior next year and I’m looking to get more involved at school so I have a chance at some better Colleges.
I think the vast majority of prospective students to the majority of colleges across the country don’t do a bunch of extracurriculars. It’s really only the most competitive colleges that want students who are super-involved.
The University of Louisville accepts about 70-74% of applicants. According to the Common Data Set posted above, University of Kentucky accepted 68% of applicants last year. Embry-Riddle accepts 79% of applicants. These generally don’t seem to be places where doing a lot of extracurriculars is a huge factor. You may want to add a club or volunteering to your activities just to round yourself out, but you don’t need to go overboard 
Thanks!
I agree with @juillet. For those three colleges, having extracurriculars is not really necessary.
Plus, in general, I advise against getting involved just so it looks good when applying to college. Most admissions committees can tell whether you are seriously involved or whether you are just trying to impress them. Get involved because you like (or think you will like) the club, or sport, or whatever.
Many schools don’t care about ECs. Many just admit by stats and HS curriculum.
