<p>hmmm… I wonder why there are 43 views and yet no one has replied? </p>

<p>Because everyone knows that their opinion is worthless, and that it’s like shooting an arrow with a blindfold on. Not only that, but we’re stupid kids or parents, not AdComms.</p>

<p>Regardless –</p>

<p>You should make your ECs more concise and pull them together with themes or categories. Just reading a lengthy list, I don’t have a feel for what you’re interested in or who you are.</p>

<p>But you look great. Who wouldn’t want you??!!</p>

<p>That said – you do know about the weather in New Hampshire, right?</p>

<p>Thanks Very Happy :slight_smile:
haha, I’ve never been to New Hampshire, but I can guess what the weather is like xD
I’m kinda sick of the whole sunny all year Hawaii thing anyway, lol</p>

<p>yea but can u stand sub zero temperatures in the winter, u might wanna visit first if possible before u apply…</p>

<p>if you are #1 and 2,3 candidates go to an Ivy each year…comparing yourself to them should give you a good indication of where you stand…make sure to focus on the intangibles, especially the art of making your application a novel.</p>

<p>I wish I were rich enough to afford traveling across the nation to visit ><
but thanks to everyone for their advice! =]</p>
