Bad ECs

<p>Hey, a few of my friends, who apparently are too lazy to register at CC, have asked me to post their stats and chance evals. So, if you don't mind the long post, I'll do it for 3 of my friends. What all three are concerned about is their lack of committment to extracurriculars and no real hooks. They do, as I'll admit, have amazingly high stats. </p>

<p>just have them make their own profiles, if they care enough, they will.</p>

<p>However, I glanced it over and they all look fine. ECs arent their strength, but they all have something they're committed to thats a significant activity. They have great stats otherwise which makes it ok. Maybe the hyper competitive schools like Harvard will want more but for most other tip-top schools they look allright.</p>
