| Since this seems to be the place for EC Discussion...
I have a question:
What about ECs that very few people have heard of? For instance, Future Problem Solving competitions are big at my school, but not a whole lot of admissions committees are going to have any idea what that is (basically you sit down and write for an hour about problems that could happen in the future and figure out how to solve them).
If one excels in those, do you just hope the adcoms know what they are, or write about them in some extra material?
And also:
How do you show that you're pretty good at something instead of just doing it. How do you demonstrate that you're an exceptional football player rather than just an OK football player? How do you demonstrate that you're a really good actor rather than an OK actor? And for that matter, do colleges even really care about the difference? |
