@FigLeaves Thanks for the thorough response! It really helps to know what last year’s students were like. The RD deadline is in Feb so there is still some time to improve the application.
Since the android app would be helpful to my application, I’m thinking I should emphasize that EC and the skills I learned in the process. Do you think I should use this as the topic for my 1 minute video (Launch, not LBW), and then in the activities (written) section just give a brief summary, something like “I’ve developed and published an app”, without going into much detail? The reason I ask is because I want to make this EC look really good but not repeat it in many different parts of the application or else the admissions officers might get tired of hearing it and it’ll across as bragging. I have a feeling the video is more important than the “activities involvement” list.
