<p>I think temple and Arcadia are fit, and the rest are all reach especially UMD and nyu. While you have an impressive list of EC’s it honestly seems like you just signed up for everything you possibly could. Colleges want to see direction, and passion, not just the ability to spread yourself thin</p>

<p>Thank you for your honesty, but most of my EC’s are centered around community service and health/science</p>
