are my ECs + awards strong enough for ivies/top-tiers?

That’s a long list of ECs, and that has me worried. All too common, “Harvard motivated” kids pressure themselves to get perfect grades and be all things to all people to get a competitive edge. With only 24 hours in a day, the result is always the same. There’s no time left for family or health, and you reach the law of diminishing returns. It’s a very toxic way to live. There’s only so much stress the human mind and body can handle before psychological and emotional trauma occurs, especially when kids haven’t emotionally matured yet.

Health is more important than dream colleges. I recommend scaling back the ECs, so you can keep balance. Even for an adult, that’s hard to do. It’s MORE important for you, because you’re still maturing. There’s over 1,000 colleges to choose from and there’s always one that will be a great fit for you.
