Thanks for the replies. Didn’t know the applications were flexible like that, glad to hear it.

Any advice on which ECs to pursue would be really helpful. My main two will be competative debate and innovative (hopefully competative) research projects, but that’s only two. I’ll probably keep the job to make three. I know numbers aren’t everything, and my top two are things I am really passionate about, which is important, but should I try for more? Would peer tutoring junior/senior year help my chances?

@akdaddy:
I get what you’re saying, but if I followed that to the extreme I’d be failing classes, spending all my time on debate and research projects. As with most people, I enjoy getting into good colleges. Anyway, none of my ECs are really things I dislike, I do enjoy some more than others but I wouldn’t mind pursuing any of them.
