<p>Well, it looks VERY IMPRESSIVE. Though, I do not know how prestigous or difficult to get some of those awards, but a typical Cal student probably has 1/4 of the E.C. you have.</p>

<p>Though, some people claim that they prefer a student that sticks with a particular field of E.C. programs and advances in them, rather than a “buckshot” student touching every type of E.C. possible. In other words, they want to see that many of your E.C. are related to each other to form some kind of unified progression those E.C. have in your life experience.</p>

<p>Yeah, I do feel though, that my EC’s vary towards a more charity and economical direction rather than millions of unrelated stuff.</p>
