Does the School of Engineering Care About EC's?

Reality is that courses taken, grades received and standardized test are the most important according to VTs website. Then the next level is the ECs. I think those and essays are what may swing the reviewer once they have a reviewed the “stats”. They always indicated that it is better to have 1 key EC that you are committed to and heavily involved with vs many as a participant. Quality over Quantity if that helps. Best of luck.
