Is this a unique extracurricular for Ivy League Colleges

Something I really like is transportation systems. It started with wooden trainsets, evolved into SimCity 4, and now I make videos depicting a particular transportation bottleneck somewhere in America. For example, I may design a new interchange, lay out the way for a new high speed rail line, or even reduce congestion on existing roads by adding brand new railway lines. This is done virtually through Google Earth, but is getting a lot of attention. For example, the US High Speed Rail Association recognized my videos.

Always do something because you like it! Do not do something just to say it!

Speaking as a student, I think that your project sounds really interesting. I can only imagine that it would stand out as being unique to almost any college admissions person…

#3

Well, it’s unique all right.
Whether it’s something a school will care about, that’s hard to say.

#4

It’s a competitive pool for any college, especially Ivy Leagues. However, I do think your project is very interesting and unique! Only time will tell since thousands of people are involved in different E.Cs. Best of luck to you! I think you have a great shot. :slight_smile:

#5

It is unique enough that none of us have any idea how the admissions offices will respond to it :stuck_out_tongue:
Though what major are you aiming for with that?

#6

That’s mighty interesting. Like others have said, don’t know whether the schools will like it or not. Maybe if someone is a train enthusiast!

#7

i think youre in for an auto-admit for havard. jk, idk. it seems… different. i think its definitely a plus because you have a nice hobby.
