<p>I’m applying to some really selective universities (all ivies except yale and dartmouth, plus duke, northwestern, stanford, usc), and I was just wondering if my ECs/awards are too trivial to actually help me. My stats are good (4.0 UW, 2320) and so are my essays, so its just the ECs. Oh yeah, and I’m applying from Canada and don’t need FA.</p>
