<p>I know about the essays and everything but i was just wondering whether ECs count for much since i don’t have any…</p>

<p>I have a 4.0 unweighted
ranked 1/380
valedictorian
8 aps
NO ECS
27 ACT</p>

<p>???</p>

2

<p>No EC’s?
Did your school require service hours?
Are you a member of a church?
A big hobby?
State Scholar?
Any awards?</p>

<p>You should retake the ACT. Have you only taken it one time? It seems low for you.</p>

3

<p>outside of uchicago, without any ECs or summer experiences, what did you you write your college essays on??</p>

4

<p>My trip to Libya over the summer and third world countries and stuff like that.</p>

<p>i also am an avid b-ball player i just don’t play for my school because i dislike the coach</p>

<p>btw i have community service hours and am an avid member of religious place</p>

<p>that’s my projected ACT score… i don’t know what i got on it.</p>

5

<p>Recreational basketball, community service, and world travel count as extracurriculars. If you are committed and passionate (leadership is a plus) they’ll look better than simply joining a club at school as a member for one hour a week.</p>

6

<p>See! EC’S! I know they really like travel stuff- especially if it’s part of a learning group. I suggest you play that up a bit.</p>

7

<p>hmm tough…</p>

8

<p>i spoke about my community service that I did in thailand in my long extended essay… so yeah, you have those to put down, make sure UChicago knows about what you have done!</p>

9

<p>you have no chance
none whatsoever</p>

10

<p>ignore the negative comments, you’ve got a good chance. Just realize that you DO have EC’s and I would also recommend retaking the ACT.</p>

11

<p>Or try the SATs!</p>

12

<p>SAT’s are for the people who think in words.
ACT is for math/science people who think in concepts and patterns.</p>

13

<p>really oops!!! then I took the wrong test…ahhhhhhh!!!</p>

14

<p>****! I took the wrong test too! OH well, i’m in college</p>
