Fauxmaven & Physicsboy32: I don’t want to out my son by being too specific, but I will say that his ec’s were truly unique, e.g., he wrote an extremely popular monthly column about youth environmental initiatives in a widely-read alternative newspaper (that’s only one example). But the point is that interesting ec’s will trump minor statistical differences every time. So stop worrying about the difference between a 2200 and a 2300 and focus instead on what makes you a special applicant.
