<p>Is this serious?</p>

<p>I wasn’t sure how much the emphasis on academics versus ECs was.</p>

<p>In addition, I’m an OOS Asian.</p>

<p>You will almost certainly be admitted early as a PSP semi-finalist if you apply by Oct. 31. Your EC’s lack what I would consider significance, but if you write a strong essay and interview well you have a better than decent shot at getting the President’s Scholarship.</p>

<p>Thanks. The ECs were what I was most worried about.</p>
