Don't compare yourself to others and don't conform to what the majority expects especially if it isn't something you enjoy. I did not even know what clubs were until my junior year of high school. I barely had volunteer hours, got B's every semester, and only took 4 AP classes (failed 1 LOL). That's why it's important to understand that being what's seen as the "perfect candidate" is not a status you HAVE to obtain just to be considered for a university.
