<p>Is it the amount if ECs or the passion behind them that attracts ivy leagues and other high tier schools? </p>
<p>I’m very passionate about medicine and I have shown that by doing volunteer work at a hospital and an internship at a neuroscience clinic. I’m also an officer of the national science honor society. Somebody told me I needed more, so I’m in a lot of other societies and key club. Is that enough, or do I just need some more random ECs?</p>
<p>Passion .</p>
<p>Quality is most definitely better than quantity–I was told that by many, many teachers, and I believe it.</p>
<p>Does it hurt to not have your ECs completely centered? Like, dedication within each one, some more than others, but they don’t all revolve around one subject, like medicine?</p>
<p>I think that<code>s fine…as long as you don</code>t do something just for the sake of doing it…as long as it`s not absolute minimal dedication.</p>
