Personally, I think there are too many well-rounded students, and they’re too similar, and end up not focusing on what they’re truly passionate about and distinguishes them. There are plenty of applicants that are well-rounded enough, so to speak. I also think honors societies are over hyped (whether colleges would disagree I have no idea), and I didn’t join any in HS. My opinion is that unless you had a big role in them/they are big in defining you, they don’t need to be separated out like they each were big things, because they weren’t (going by the rules: length denotes importance, and most important listed first). At the same time, if your passion is service and music, then please, go ahead and elaborate, because that’s gonna be a lot more interesting and that is (I’m assuming) where you spent most of your time. I’m not going to think why you weren’t more active in your N?HS’s if I know you spent your time wisely on other things. I do kinda wonder why your most interesting EC’s are your first, second, second to last, and last listed.

Chance: You’re definitely the kind of student WashU would love to have, but whether they admit you is up in the air. As always, ED’s have a better chance of being admitted.
