<p>I have seen a lot of friends who had great ECs and were able to enter prestige schools.</p>
<p>One who liked science/math stuffs won a lot of competitions,and one did unbelivable </p>
<p>amount of volunteer work for international students and family. (she wanted to major </p>
<p>international relationship thing)</p>
<p>Atheletes exercised, musician types in orchestras.</p>
<p>Their goal/dream was so clear and they never looked back, just went forward.</p>
<p>But what can be the relative ECs for Econ/history??</p>
<p>Any competition??? History research?? Trying intern in a good firm maybe??</p>
