<p>trust me when i tell you i have REALLY STRONG EC's and leadership positions in all of them... im just too lazy to type :)</p>
<p>Chancing threads are a little ridiculous in the first place, but its especially difficult with a school like Tufts. We put a lot of stock in personal statements and our (I believe still optional) alternative applications questions.</p>
<p>Your stats are good enough that you won’t be excluded from consideration at any school, Tufts included (congratulations, you clearly worked hard). However, many students have similar stats: in fact, there are more applicants with high scores than there are places for them at most selective schools. So, once officers have this “qualified muddle” of students who are adequately-prepared on paper, they begin looking for an applicant’s unquantifiable attributes: humor, sincerity, intellectual curiosity, virtue, creativity, quirkiness, passion, those sorts of things.</p>
<p>You’ll be in the qualified muddle anywhere you apply. It’s up to you to stand out.</p>
<p>Your stats seem stonger than most…and I trust that you do have good ECs…
Only thing that worries me is you’re the first person I know to say that you’re too lazy to write your ECs in your chance me threads…
Believe me when I say I get the good humour in it… put it makes me wonder whether you’ll write your essays just once before entering it into the commonapp… plenty of people out there will write and rewrite ten times over…and unfortunately, it actually helps…</p>
<p>i’ve been working on essays since may
for everyone whose worried about me being too lazy to write my ECs, i was running out of the house to tennis practice so cheeeellll</p>
<p>Mine was patchy as usual…some of the essays I got reveiwed by my teachers… some of the supplemental ones I wrote within half an hour of seeing the topic…
Just an anecdote…one of the Upenn essays required me to write about one of their professors and why I would like to do research with him/her…I went the professor profiles and picked the first mechanical eng professor I saw…a whole lot of the I love his work and we would get along very well followed…perfect for me etc…a day or two later I submitted all my common apps…
About a week later I ran a google search on the professor…now don’t get me wrong…I’m all for gay rights (including marriage)… but I would have probably left out some of the cheesy parts…</p>
