Help with High School clubs? Am I good?

Question

I am in NHS, Key Club, and Habitat for Humanity this year. Also, I am volunteering at a local hospital. I can NOT play sport or any instruments. What clubs can I join to ensure me a good college like Stanford or UCLA? Or am I good? Clubs we have include Speech and debate, FBLA etc. I do not want to be in student government.

Answer 1

I would DEFINITELY recomment FBLA. It looks AMAZINGLY good on your college transcript, and it's an easy way to earn community service hours. In addition, the contests are extremely easy to place in since there are rarely people that actually study for them...(Try Business Math, I skimmed through the textbook for like 15 minutes during the lunch before my test and I placed 4th nationally...) Colleges love those awards ;DDD

Also, if your a science/computer person, do computer science. Take like AP Comp Sci if you have time and go to the contests...It's pretty easy to place as well, and it's super duper fun...xDD

Speech and Debate...It's pretty fun as well, but for most people it's a waste of time. You have to be INSANELY good at it to even make quarterfinals or semifinals, and writing cases and preparing is WAY too time-consuming...xDDD (I've stayed up until like 4 writing cases for LD before, yea it sucks).

Oh, and UIL is a good option as well...But it does require a bit of studying, but turst me, colleges love that sort of thing. xDD

Good luck! =PP And most importantly, when you're doig something, have fun doing it! =)
