Plan on joining clubs my junior year..?

Question

I am a junior this year and so far have joined no clubs during my freshman and sophomore year. I was thinking about joining 4-6 clubs this year(two of them I had to wait my junior year). Do you think it is to late, or is it never to late? I want these extracurriculars for my college application.

Answer 1

Many kids are confused about what colleges want in terms of ECs. While clubs are nice, they don't impress. What colleges want is for you to have a passion that ties in with your activities. A bunch of random clubs shows no passion.,

Answer 2

It is never too late, actually now would be the perfect time.  I would try to stay under 3 unless they really don't require alot of participation.  You still need time for studies and it is difficult to fully commit to all of them if you have too much going on.  I juggled 3 my sophomore year and it kind of took a toll on my grades.  Just have fun, high school will soon be a memory of your past.  Embrace every moment, I did and I really enjoyed it.  You make alot of friends and you learn lessons that you wouldn't have learned otherwise.
