Mr. Yankee

Last June, I started a sports website (blog) with news- and opinion-based articles. It has attracted of 5.5 thousand visitors up to this point. How good of an EC would that be viewed as? Would it standout as something unique and above average?

By the way, here is the site address if anyone wants to see the quality: www.thesportshookup.blogspot.com

Mr. Yankee

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Help, please!

10,000 and you've got yourself an EC.

Nah, joking. That's a v. good, original EC to have.

How about habitat for humanity? And, do colleges look at/do you have to report what year you did your ec's?

Mr. Yankee

Haha, hopefully I'll be at 10K by the time I'm applying.

It's not really the number or users in your blog or how popular it is. In the end, it all comes to, say, things like:

-Did you learn anything else by writing blogs?
-What was your experience writing while thousands of others read your writing?
-What prompted you to write?

Things like these, IMO, are factors that AdComs might be enthusiastic to see in the Apps.

But let us not forget your great accomplishment, for it is a unique EC. Again, it all comes to how you craft your accomplishments with paper&pencil.

Mr. Yankee

Yep, kevster. I'm interested in journalism, hence the inclination to start a blog.

That's awesome

That's a very cool ec. I think I've actually read your blog on occasion through random google searches. The only complaint I have is that tennis is never mentioned. This grieves me very much, as you even have it in your logo. And yet, never a mention. But that's just a tennis fanatic talking...

Following on the same note as Mr. Yankee, for the past two years I have developed, maintained, and administered (Lead Administrator) an online gaming website (Competitive Ladders/Tournaments). While it is not the most popular of these sites (Such as Teamwarfare or CAL), it does have a decent amount of teams registered (564 registered, probably around 50 active) and a good number of visitors (3500 Unique & 500,000 hits a month). Would this count as a considerable activity? Does the fact that I have developed several other websites (both paid and unpaid) help as it establishes a set focus? What could I do to further develop this EC?

Also, how much could a family situation make up for otherwise lackluster extracurricular? My mother is paralyzed from the chest down (Still has use of her arms) and thus requires extra help from me (My parents are divorced and my brother is in college), putting considerable strain on my ability to partake in certain things.

Thanks,
Dabu

what if your the top of everything. You have a 4 point unweighted GPA, a valedictorian, graduate with with highest honors and traditional scholars, and your high school is in the top 1000. you have a 30 or more on the ACT..BUT you have no ECs at all (aside from community service) ..then what happens? what is the best college you think that person will get accepted to???

Thanks for the help...

PS. let's say that person is a junior right now. what should he or she do to get into a top school)
