AEM? That’s extremely selective. You have done well, but nothing can guarantee that your chances are higher than the acceptance rate, particularly because your applying for a very competitive major. My advice would have been to do more business rellated ECs bc that’s what most accepted students have in common for AEM. Good luck
Something else I forgot to mention, my cousin and I are the creators of the ECSR (Egyptian Council of Student Reps). It is an NGONPO that connects students across Egypt to do charity work across the country. We currently have every English speaking school working with us supplying 3 representatives.

If you are doing ED Penn, then for RD Cornell…I’d say no, based on the SAT…BUT, your app will be compelling, so maybe. Not sure on Penn bc I’m not sure what they really want!
Advice, pick some ECs that are really important to you, prestigious or time consuming. Your list borders on someone reading it like most of it is fluff or filler.
Not say it IS filler, but these folks read a lot of these long lists…When you have so much, you may want to group things. The app only allows 10 spaces, so use them wisely. you need to package yourself well without seeming to “sell”, kwim?
I like the idea of moving leadersip together. Awards together. Then your charty, which is the best one I think. And what about the econ ECs you talked about?
