<p>Thanks for answering. I know my EC’s aren’t that great. I was thinking of ttrying to start something up, like a tutoring program for elementary school kids because I really enjoy being around little kids, but I wasn’t sure how to exactly go about it. I was going to talk to my NHS teacher, but I don’t know if it’ll be worth it (if people’ll join, if it’ll work). And plus, it’s not super extraordinary. But I don’t want that to be my main reason for starting it.</p>
<p>Also, do you think if I had some really good essays, that could add life to my application behind some stale EC’s? I just don’t want to ruin my chances because I didn’t do super cool things, like winning INTEL competitions, to ruin my chances. </p>
<p>Yale is my dream school. What would you do in my position to spice up your chances? Like should I just make means of what I have done, or try to add something new to my application?</p>
