Are my Ec's enough
Answered

I'm in 11th grade and was wondering if my Ec's were enough. I have all A's, and when the time comes, I'm applying to Ball State. My Ec's are volunteering with the red cross and the National Honors Society; I'm in several clubs at my school. Book club, anime club, and SkillsUSA. I'm also doing a paid part-time job with my school. Are these good EC's?

It depends on what you want to major in, but those look like fairly good EC's. If you can I would try to do more community work since colleges are always looking for community involvement. Also if you have any hobbies like an instrument or something like that I would also include that, because it only helps. It really does depend on your major though, because it looks better to have more EC's related to your major along with community service.

I want to Major in Pre-med, and I'm always trying to be more involved in the community. I try to take any opportunity I get to participate. While I don't play an instrument, I have several other hobbies like gardening. I'm also constantly looking for ways to be involved in something related to what I want to major in. Thanks you for the answer

Of course! Yeah and since your are participating in your community even if it is a small event I would try to include it because it helps to show how involved you are. Also even hobbies like gardening I would definitely mention. It is great that you are involved in your community and engaging in things related to your area of interest since that is something they are always looking for.
