It’s a touchy subject on CC.
“Spikey” is not a tip for a lot of very top college looking for kids with depth and breadth. They want to see you go past your own predefined interests. If OP is looking at the right colleges for his or her stats and interests, I think this is fine. He or she is activated, engaged with peers, and has some outside things going on.

Key is finding the colleges for you. The right ones start with where your stats fall in range, about the 70th+ percentile or higher on gpa and scores.

Do you have a Fiske Guide to Colleges and have you started finding schools that are affordable? If your parents are together and not self employed, run the NPC (Net Price Calculator) for each target.

Adding: well rounded isn’t about titles. It’s about the activities and the willingness.
