<p>The OP posted the below ECs on another thread. His or her ECs are very weak. When it comes to all students – including URMS-- places like HPYS are looking for more than the stats. They also want strong ECs, and there really are URMs with the stats and strong ECs who are applying. Of course, there are exceptions for people of all races who have strong stats, but have family responsibilities that don’t allow them to pursue ECs.</p>
