<p>I would like to mention again, it does not matter, it is waste of time, nobody cares, adcoms are not stupid, they understand perfectly, they can see the difference between “padded” application and the real one. BTW. D. was accepted to all the schools that she applied, all awarded her Merit scholarships, but her EC’s had nothing to do with it, got to have stats for Merit awards. She was on full tuition Merit Scholarships in UG. She choose not to go to schools that pursued her for her sport.</p>
