but i'm not going to the US if i can't get into a school worth its while.
anybody knows a school that might be my match and offers generous fin aid?</p>
<p>any comment, advice, criticism will be appreciated</p>
<p>i think you should compartmentize your ECs, like sort it into “music and the arts”, “language” etc. Other than that try to focus on the depth of your commitments and demonstrate how each of them is important to you and your development.
all the best!</p>
