I disagree. I definitely did not tie with my peers. In fact, my scores were way below where they should have been. My essay is what got me to Princeton.

And telling someone to participate in “some strong ecs” for the sake of the college admissions process is terrible advice. Top-notch schools can tell when you are doing something because you’re passionate about it, or because you want to pad your app.
