ECs dont matter.

ECs DO matter, not what you do so much as what you make of the opportunities available and how they develop and influence your character. Its tough to chance you, though, because so many of the T20s evaluate holistically, and you have only provided us with a glimpse of one fraction of your application.

Since you have done so many different and varied activities, I would present them in categories such as “sports”, “music”, “programming” and “science/engineering”, etc. in whatever order those are most important to you. I think they look good, though. You’ve certainly kept busy!
