<p>H20, I think what Jie is saying is that your EC’s are okay but nothing about them particularly stands out. They’re in the “dime a hundred” for the general profile. They won’t hurt you but they won’t help you, either, if you’re on the bubble, I don’t believe.</p>
<p>But in discussing you NYU vs. Wellesley, you use a word that is key: “survive.” That’s not good enough. You want a college environment that brings out the best in you, that helps you come closest to reaching your potential. I know students at both Wellesley and NYU…and they’re “activated” and engaged by very different things.</p>
<p>On superficial reading, it sounds that Wellesley is indeed the better “fit” for you.</p>
