You are welcome

but…your next post suggests that you haven’t read the link: “Find what you love, and do it”. If you know what that is- do it. If you are still sorting out what that is, try things you think you are interested in and follow through until you realize that it is really not you.

“There is nothing, literally nothing, that in and of itself will get you in”

You can’t build a ‘perfect’ application, b/c there is no such thing. Your best application will be the one that is truest to what you are really interested in. There really isn’t a rule book. I have seen people with ah-mazing ECs get into Harvard - and also be turned down.
