My ECs show that I enjoy sports, have math skills (for poker club and Mu Alpha Theta), and also have a passion for business. The problem I find is, I am just getting involved in all of these clubs junior year and it just look like I am padding my application. Also I am in more clubs but I am naming only the important ones.

Volunteer: Museum volunteer, Tutor, raised 4000 dollars for marfans disease, and many student government hours.

Summer activities: I haven’t put much thought into it but I was thinking on saying: every summer I seem to have an interest in a career path. Both summers going into freshman and sophomore year I was interested in programming, spending my summer reading and learning how to program. In summer going into junior year I was interested with the business field and met with Merrill lynch’s branch manager to discuss what is like at an investment bank.

Essay: I was thinking about writing on how I realized my option and how being a first generation college student and a first generation Albanian-American made it difficult.

I would appreciate it so much if you can give me some advice on improving my stats and your opinion on this stats. It’s going to be difficult getting into an Ivy League school and any advice would help!
