ECs and awards

<p>Since I’m from a very small Mississippi private school with very few opportunites, is it acceptable that pretty much all of my awards are school-based? Also, a couple of my ECs are clubs that I started this year(junior year), so obviously I could not have participated for more than 2 years. How does this look? One more thing-is it alright to list “Community Service” as an activity on the list and fill in the hours accordingly? Thanks.</p>

<p>yeah, Mississippi should help you.</p>

<p>Yes, MS will help you, BUT showing that you can go past that will get you in.</p>

<p>Showing you have the initiative is HUGE.</p>
