Will few extracurriculars hurt my college application?

Answered

If you are already a Questbridge scholar, I feel you are have already passed over a huge hurdle. First of all, QB only accepts 30% of applicants and their application is equally if not more detailed than the common app or coalition app. I think you should give yourself pause and focus on trying to be a finalist into the National Match program. Almost all College Prep Scholars get into the college Match program, I'm not sure what else you need to be a finalist. But about 37% of National Match applicants become finalists. Remember that about 17% get matched with 42 partner schools for a full ride and about 45% get admitted through regular decision so 62% get into a QB college. There is not much cost difference especially if you get into a college that meets 100% of need. So check up on which ones do. I think most of them do. Therefore keep doing what you are doing and you will have 62% of getting into a QB college partner school. Between now and Oct is only 4 months, so try to work on your essays and if you haven't taken a real SAT or ACT, take one of each and submit the higher score. That is a lot to work on this summer. I understand from your term "mock" you mean you took practice tests for both of them. The real test is a little different because you will be under more pressure and stress to perform, so I recommend you take a practice test once a week or once every two weeks until the test date. Each time you take a practice test it should resemble the same time of day on a Saturday at 8 AM. After you are done, study all the questions you got wrong and write them down in a notebook and do that for each practice test. Good luck with your admissions journey.
