<p>I have the grades…but what are some ECs that I should get involved in to make me stand out? I’m applying for fall 2010. I have a 4.0, will complete breadth and prereqs, but I don’t have much ECs or work experience.</p>

<p>I’m guessing stuff that requires skills pertaining to your major? Maybe some leadership positions would help.</p>

3

<p>Stuff like anime club, mcdonalds work experience and eagle scouts. :D</p>

<p>i have the same question too. and also, are internships better than just getting a job? do colleges like them better or are they the same.</p>

<p>Would you say running for student government and getting elected is a good EC? I mean, at my school there are only 17 open AS senate seats that you must get elected for, so I am assuming that it looks good to adcoms because you’re one of the 17 people that actually went through with the damn thing?</p>

<p>^vintij- yes that would be a great opportunity for you if u can be in the senate. as a fellow student, i’d say try ur best to get in the senate to make u stand out. it shows great leadership and discipline. but as a fellow competitor for fall '10, DON’T DO IT. SENATE MEANS NOTHING</p>

<p>student government won’t do it - get an internship</p>
