What type of ECs needed

<p>I have heard that Harvard tends to look for specific EC’s that the applicant is passionate about. I have done some ECs like Science Olympiad, Math Comp, Ac. Comp, NHS, volunteering and South Asian Culture Club. However, my biggest passion is for Tae kwon do. I am a first-degree black belt and also a Junior instructor. I have participated in demo teams and gone to a ton of competitions (but I there is no room for me to list all the regionals) including an 2 A-grade tournaments earning 1st in Forms and 2nd in Weapons, and have also earned State Championship for PA in Forms and Weapons categories. Is this enough to catch their attention?</p>

<p>PS: I am an international South Asian student graduating from a U.S. high school if that helps any one.</p>

<p>It can be if you are particularly accomplished. Like other schools, Harvard wants to fill its various ECs and see them thrive. Check out Harvard’s tae kwon do group: [Harvard</a> Taekwondo](<a href=“http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~htkd/]Harvard”>http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~htkd/)
Of course, you have to meet all the other criteria for admittance. Good luck.</p>
