And is learning a language during a vaction an EC? (self taught by immersing myself in the culture : ) )</p>
<p>So good, ok, or horrible?</p>
<p>Do i need to expand my EC’s more or stay concentrated on these?</p>
<p>Also, what colleges can i go to with these EC’s (considering i am a good student)</p>
<p>No, don’t do more! Concentrate on the ones you have.</p>
<p>do you enjoy them?
can you talk about them?
are you passionate about them?</p>
<p>that’s the only way they’ll really get you anywhere.</p>
<p>They’re good. You don’t seem like a resume padder to me.</p>
<p>Yeah, I definetely love doing all of them, especially art. </p>
<p>Can classes that are not necessary for Graduation be ECs? </p>
<p>(Ex. I took two math classes this yaer when only one was required)</p>
<p>Nope, they’re not ECs.</p>
<p>oh, alright.</p>
<p>What is a resume padder?</p>
<p>Resume padders are those kids who do things/get leadership positions in activities even if they do not enjoy doing them, in their endeavor to make colleges think they are better than they are.</p>
<p>in your context, someone who does activities with the primary intention of putting them on their resume.</p>
<p>I was just talking to a guidance counselor and she was saying that she sees top colleges just as interested in kids who have a passion and show it through their actions as they are in the superstars who do every single AP possible. In fact, she said that in the case of a certain young person I know, that it was actually an advantage to have taken APs in his area of strength, not weakness–he concentrated in one area.</p>
<p>Looks good, do you plan to apply to an ivy league?</p>
