<p>I’ve read so many posts of people worrying about ECs. When they list their activities, people call them “unoringal” or “stale”. Then when the student asks what is “original” and “interesting”, they can’t give an answer. Does anyone have an answer to this? What are some interesting ECs? I am interesting in going into pre-med. I already volunteer at the ICU and the rest of my ECs are city symphony, olympic development program for soccer, varsity soccer, retreat leader, mini medical program group counselor, etc. </p>
<p>Being dedicated, focused, and accomplished matters more than being original. They don’t care what you do specifically as much as they care about the personal qualities you bring to whatever it is you do. It shouldn’t look like you’re all over the place and not committed to anything.
Remember that pre-med isn’t a major. It’s a track; you can major in anything and be pre-med.</p>
<p>at ND, there is an actual pre-med major… im assuming im going there… which i shouldnt… but ya hahaha @halcyonheather </p>
