Too late to start...?

Tenth grade is absolutely not too late to begin getting involved.

Do know, however, that ECs need not be clubs or teams. For example, a writer may be involved in only literary magazine in school but be in a local literary society, have national awards, have attended conferences/camps, etc.

Personally, I would drop at least Guitar and Ping Pong club. Adcoms aren’t impressed by “hobby” clubs, and that frees you up to become truly competitive at debate or institute new schoolwide reforms with student council.
