<p>How important are awards for getting into competitive schools like ivies?
I have decent grades and extra curriculars, but i'm lacking in awards...both because i have not actively pursued them and because i would likely not get them if i did</p>
<p>therefore, if i don't have many intresting awards other than the obvious national honors society and national spanish exam ...
am i screwed?</p>
<p>Also, how important is it to indicate what you want to study, and how dangerous is it to say undecided
will it harm your chances if you say undecided?
also will it harm your chances if you say you want to study, philosophy, per se, or history</p>
