Thank you for response, scottj. I always see you on other chance threads, and you’re always a big help.
What do you mean by “lack of connection to any school activities on a sustained basis is the flip-side”? I’m slightly confused. I understand why the statement would be applicable to a student who has attended the same high school through out, but I there was no way I could have continued my EC’s, especially considering that my previous schools did not have many school clubs. The only way I really continued an extracurricular is from debating to Model UN and volunteering at a day care to volunteering at a children’s play place. Will lack of EC’s hurt me? I’ve always been worried about this, knowing that continuity of activities is seen more favorably in the college admissions process.
