<p>In at CMU, possibly in at Caltech and Penn, highly unlikely for you to get into Columbia/Princeton/MIT. Your EC’s aren’t good. Period.</p>

<p>Thanks for your reply! my brother is a sophmore right now and he’s trying to follow my path, so wat EC’s am i missing that hee can do?</p>

<p>Your brother needs more ECs that don’t relate to studying. Have them too, but have a passion in something other than studying. You mentioned tennis. Your brother should definitely become very active in a sport, alongside the academic based teams.</p>

<p>You can certainly have strong ECs that are still related to studying. Such examples include having a leadership role in a debate team that scores very well, a science/math team that scores very well in local events, academic decathlon, ASB, etc. It certainly won’t hurt you if you make your ECs as having a lot of school spirit and being passionate about school/learning.</p>
