OK for EC's not to correspond w/potential major?

I’m a junior this year & my interests have been really diverse, and what I’ve wanted to do has changed a lot over the past 3 years…now I’m looking into journalism & possibly poli sci/women’s studies. As a result, my EC’s are kind of all over the place…ballet/yoga, officer in Student Business Services Club (SBSC), volunteering in the office of a nonprofit org, vegan activism, and Model UN/Model Congress. Because of scheduling conflicts with SBSC I’m not able to join my school newspaper, but I’ll be able to take Journalism senior year. Do colleges (BU in particular, I guess) really care if your EC’s “match” what you want to do?
