I'm planning on going to Princeton University, I got very good grades, all A's, but I'm not involved in any activities. So I was wondering if that is going to effect me?

Having extracurricular activities is very important. I had bad grades my first two yrs of HS but I maintained active in clubs/orgs in school and then I got my grades up the last two yrs. ...I was accepted to my top choice, because of my involvement in school. It might not affect you that much, but I would get involved now just to make sure. Colleges seek a full rounded student. I worked in the Admissions dept of my school and the adm officers said they would rather pick a student who has good grades and more involvement in school then a straight A student, they need students to demonstrate time management because thats what college is all abt.

It might not Affect you but the Effects of not being involved in extracurricular activities won't help. Colleges definitely focus more on grades, however they also like to have well-rounded students.

You did not deserve A's in English.
First of all, you should say.......
I plan to go to Princeton University.
(You aren't planning ON anything!) Poor grammar.
Secondly, You were wondering if that is going to AFFECT you.....not effect.
Get it? Evidently you didn't EARN the A's.........assuming you even got them.

Anything can affect you when applying for college. It may affect you for not doing any extra-curricular activities, especially if you want to go to Princeton.
Also, you have grammatical errors. You have a run-on sentence; put a (.) after University. Also, you wrote "I got...", it should be "I have". That will affect you.

Maybe it will. But join a club so you won't have such a risk of losing somewere you want to go.
