What can I do to be more rounded?
Answered

I’m a sophomore in high school with a 97.89 weighted gpa (I don’t know how to find unweighted). I want to go to Carnegie Mellon to get my PsyD in clinical psychology. I am in audition choir, I have been for 2 years, and I’ve done regular choir since 4th grade. I do my school’s musicals and plays. I’ve taken one AP, I’m in art, environmental, and LEO club (like stuco) at my school. I need other extracurriculars to be well-rounded, but I don’t know what I can do. Please help!

You don't have to be "well-rounded" just because you want to go to a certain school. Schools see passion and purpose; they can see right through it if you're buffing a resume to look good. Do what you're interested in doing! Explore clinical psych, lean into choir, try to get a leadership role in your clubs. Anything you're really interested in matters.
