<p>其实我觉得你的各项成绩不错。如果你能读懂这句那就说明你的EC也不错。lol</p>

<p>your business is the one that stands out. talk about it in your essays etc.
internship in biotech legal department? what did you do there?</p>

<p>Your ECs show focus. Filming+writing is a believable and unique combination. Try combining these two together for maximum appeal. For example, a film blog (what a creative idea!) etc.</p>

<p>At the moment, I think it’s reach for all universities, but you might want to try ED in Cornell so that if you get in you don’t have to worry about the others. (note that ED doesn’t affect your chances that much since the pool of applicants in ED are much more competitive and qualified)</p>
