<p>PLEASE CHANCE ME FOR Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Northwestern, Stanford, Chicago, UPenn, USC</p>

<p>I would play up the ECs you did for three or four years and drop the others as part of this EC review. I would include the ECs with you as founder and president as part of your leadership statement. We have been told by councilors in our public schools, colleges look for long term commitment, not one year participation in several clubs.</p>

<p>My son is applying to several of these schools in physics. It is late but people in sciences often benefit from taking the ACT (there is a science section). My son got 2180 on the SAT and 34 on the ACT.</p>

<p>wow! Which school did your son decide to go to?</p>

<p>He is applying to Stanford, USC, Berkley, Princeton, Yale, Northwestern and for safety and lower prices (merit aid) to Boston U. and UC Santa Barbara. Ideally he would like to get a second major/minor in creative writing. His high school has a poor record for ivy school acceptance except for athletes and immigrants.</p>

<p>He toured Cornell and liked it very much too.</p>
