Lately I have been throwing my heart and soul into starting an independent newspaper on campus. I am heavily involved in a couple of groups, and I have been offered (not accepted) executive positions in all of them.
Am I screwing myself? I am not really prepared to sacrifice my ECs in favor of grades even though I'm sure if I dropped some things my grades would improve. I'm not in horrible shape but I'm definitely not doing my future applications any favors. I can probably pull off a 3.5, give or take a tenth this semester.
Basically--I know grades are TOP PRIORITY, but will the ECs help me at all? Or are they just destroying any chance I ever had by dragging down my GPA?
