High School - no clubs offered - damage transcript?

I'm a sophomore at a charter high school. The school has only been operational for two years, and has yet to allow/begin club activities. I was selected for ASB as a *cough*non-voted*cough* member. My ';job'; in ASB was to organize, encourage, and help prepare students who want to start clubs.








School is still in the process of talking with the big chiefs and principal etc...








So, is not belonging to any clubs going to damage my chances of acceptance to my chosen school? I'm a very energetic and active person, but painting that on some recommendation isn't going to help much.





I know these days colleges look at everything, from grades to SATs to teachers to e.c, etc..I know.





I'm just really really concerned this whole club thing won't work out and I'll end up with zero e.c on my transcript. (the school is very small, only offers 2 honor courses, no ap, yeah.)





Expected graduated GPA: 3.9


SAT: Average


Recommendations: Plentiful


E.C: ?








HELP PLEASE!

Your G.P.A. will make a big difference on your resume, and if you have been doing things outside of school, these will count just as much as clubs. Also, if you have been chosen as the person who is going to be arranging for clubs for your entire school, this is GREAT. It shows responsibility and action on your part.





If your SAT is only average, you can count most Ivy League schools out, because they are very selective. If you want to get into a good state school, a 3.9 G.P.A. and ok SAT will get you in just fine. Also, if you go to school in the state where you live, you'll find that tuition will be much less than if you go out of state.





You are going to get into a college with those grades, it's just a matter of which one.





Here's a bit of advice: when you get into college, don't load up with the toughest classes you could find all in your first year. Get some English and possibly philosophy classes under your belt, because the thinking and writing skills you will get out of them will help you in a very direct way as your college career progresses. Take some ';fun'; classes that may not be in your major, and perhaps a couple of pre-requisites for things you will need in your major.





My point is that freshmen--even brilliant ones--often overextend that first year, when they should ease into college. It's a lot different from high school. More competition.

I know it seems like it might damage your transcript but let me tell you, admissions is a whole procedure, and that's just ONE tangent, one small part of a whole thing they look at, and you don't have to be so perfectionistic about it and pin point and calculate every little thing, because even though you want to make sure you have the highest shot possible, rest assured that admissions isn't going to look at it through a microscope like you do.





You're not getting hired to perform heart surgery on someone, you out of thousands of others are being considered for admission. Admissions is a job, and believe me, they want to make their job as simple as possible, they're human too, and I'm sure they will NOT look at it THAT in depth, so don't worry about it.





You'll get in, and you'll be fine.
