Lack of ECs

I am an Eagle Scout and I mentioned no other EC’s for being an army vet. I don’t even remember writing a lot about my army experience in the essay, didn’t really want to BS it too much or be too honest like “1 year in the desert taking smoke breaks and arguing about football/which super model is hotter”.

However, I did have a 3.8 gpa for a couple of semesters at a community college just to prove that I am ready for a college environment. That only proves I’m ready, CC is basically a joke compared to the workload here.

My essay was mostly who I am, what I’ve done and where I go from here. There was also interesting facts about the school that I’ve sprinkled in but I felt it was important to keep the message simple.
