<p>Your extensive EC list may harm your application since you appear to be a serial joiner (although as a boarding school student this is understandable as you live at school 24/7). "School spirit" as an EC? A few of your ECs are redundant & some may suspect that you joined or created a club just to be an officer. ECs are supposed to reflect passion and/or well roundedness. Passion is usually much more important. Your numbers are strong & your leadership positions numerous which means that you will be competitive for all of your schools, in my opinion.
P.S. How do you know that your counselor recs will be excellent? Is this an assumption or have you actually read the rec? I ask because you are applying to 15 highly selective schools from a prep boarding school and I doubt that your counselor will "push" for your admission to more than 3 of these schools as your school has relationships & credibility on the line. For example, a very elite top 3 boarding prep school only got 1 of 6 applicants admitted to one of your targeted colleges even though several were admitted to Ivies. Your counselor will probably listen very closely to discern which of the non-EA/ED schools are really your top choices.</p>
<p>Based on your earlier posts this month, I question the validity of the info. listed in this thread. It appears that you are a junior in your second month at a boarding school seeking to transfer & predicting your PSAT scores.</p>
<p>this is actually a friend of mines hahah....but they needed help...so i wanted to try to help them... btw i'm a junior lol....</p>
<p>as for the remark about school spirit (its a club which runs athletic events, does radio broadcasts and runs merchandise sales at school events)
btw. this student went to elementary school in beijing...and studied it in elementary school...and did french iin high school until junior year</p>
<p>so should she...take off some of her extra curriculars as to make her not look like such a serial Joiner????</p>
<p>No wonder...I'm from China too... these days the ivy hates chinese a lot ;(
I think the "president"s look very good on her resume.... no need to take off any</p>
<p>Wow, do you go to Exeter or Choate or something? I don't know how the hell anyone can pull off a curriculum/extracurriculars like that. My only issue with your friend is she's president of the young Republicans lol, but that shouldn't be too bad. I wish her luck, though I doubt she'll need any. Lookin' good for Stanford.</p>
