<p>Regarding Broad EC's: it means that your extracurriculars span a wide range of topics, subjects, and spectrums. Basically, you lack focus, which is very very bad, and very very typical of Asian applicants. Don't worry, I'm in the same boat, and that might be why I got denied to Cornell ED. Try to find those EC's which support your major, and DON'T go undecided. I learned my lesson with that as well.</p>
