There is no requirements for extracurricular. But, I would recommend if you don't have a lot of them. You should have a wow factor.

I read the much expierence with ECs to mean he has just a few low tier ECs not one huge one. Like OP is a member of non competitive chess club and babysits for money. You need in-depth ECs to have a shot at MIT. Also itās dependent if your academics and essays can counter balance your ECs. You may have a .01% shot at MIT but thatās functionally none.

I agree with OFHanson
I absolutely disagree; just one extracurricular can be extraordinary! What about an EC that earns you international representation š¤ or one EC (research presumably) where you are published in a scientific journal š§ Itās not āimpossibleā as youāve stated, and not even difficult, but different.
