<p>My friend is the embodiment of the question "Do EC's really matter?"
He has passions such as politics, but just doesn't do anything or
contribute to the community..does he have any chance?</p>

<p>BUMP</p>

<p>It seems like consensus is that he will only get into UO</p>

<p>Boston University... He's probably get in there with the EC's mentioned. I probably wouldn't advise him to write that letter thing, however.</p>

<p>"Duke of Intellect"... :)
No for U Penn, Amherst, or Yale.</p>
