Chance me - First-year student from NJ aiming for Ivies and Stanford, MIT

I agree your ECs appear padded and random. Pick the ones where you have really contributed something and are most aligned to your major. Still… you should already know your chances are very very slim, as are anyone’s, even the top students. I mean, it could happen, but it probably won’t, so be sure you have some nice matches and safeties lined up. (though it is admittedly hard to have a CS “safety” these days.)
