<p>do you guys have any suggestions on what else I can do–other than work my butt off on the essays–to become more competitive? probably not much, since I only have a few short months. SAT I might be a place to start, but I figure I’m already in the ballpark and should focus more on my ECs.</p>
<p>I wish I had some huge achievement/exceptional success in a certain field, but even performing opportunities in my area are limited. I only realized this summer, when I first got on CC, that there are some inhumanly successful applicants out there and that there’s a lot more I should’ve tried to achieve during high school. ah well, at least I can still say I spent my time in high school on activities I truly enjoyed doing, never thinking about what colleges would like to see.</p>
