<p>sounds great! you are good to go</p>

3

<p>I am not sure participation alone is going to be enough. Have you won or secured high ranks in any major competitions?</p>

4

<p>Very impressive!</p>

5

<p>In addition to being a lot of cool stuff with a lot of leadership, your ECs appear to be quite focused on a few key areas of interest, which is really good. Best of luck with your applications!</p>

<p>I don’t know, hey everyone! Is participation count as EC or am I have to won or ranked high, by the way, I will be class president for 2 years and School union delegate for 2 years. Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Ivies are never a sure thing, however, especially since you are an international student. Apply, but be sure to have a backup plan.</p>

<p>@KKmama‌ So you’re saying that those EC’s are enough for MIT?</p>

9

<p>They are enough, but that doesn’t mean that you will get accepted. </p>

10

<p>If you feel that you have done as much as you can (i.e you’ve stretched yourself to your limits), then, yes, they are enough.</p>

11

<p>I can do more guys, if it is necessary. And I know that only EC’s won’ get me accepted to school.</p>

<p>The number of ECs isn’t as important as excelling in them. For instance, my friend was an avid debater. He took part in about 20-25 debate tournaments, including the WSDCs (made it to top 40, which is a big deal). He was admitted to Princeton SCEA and Harvard RD (only Yale said waitlist).</p>
