Are my ECs good enough?

I am an American citizen living in India, I am going into my senior year, and these are my ECs:

1. Learned Indian Classical Dance for 10 years and have recieved several certificates including one for distinction in my 5th year. I have also performed for many cultural events while I was in US and for a global summit here in India.

2. I am doing Community Service at a local children's center and will have 40+ hours by the time I write my college applications

3. I have a blog where I write about culture and lifestyle, it has had over 200 viewers and has been visited over 200 times

4. I do painting and post on social media, my Instagram reels surpass 700 views and my painting has been chosen for an exhibition at the Ahmedabad Management Associateion

5. I was part of the core team of the I Can Children's Global Summit by Design for change that helped run the program, and I performed a dance there as well

6. I have participated in an MUN at a school level and won Best Delegate

7. I have participated in several school level competitions and won a few as well including a debate competition and a poem recitation competition, and have also anchored in several school events

8. I have been self learning both the guitar and flute, and I have been playing the flute since the 5th grade

Are these good enough extracurriculars?

If you are aiming for top schools, they may want to see more volunteer hours (check out this post to help explain : blog.collegevine.com/extracurriculars-for-ivy-league/) . But in general, your ECs look really great! Keep up the good work and remember quality over quantity!
