<p>I realize that my ECs are not particularly strong, but I should (hopefully) be able to distinguish myself through strong essays and letters of recommendation. Also, I'm looking to add one more LAC to my list. Any suggestions would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for the feedback.</p>

<p>While your ECs aren’t great, your academics and test scores are very strong. I’d say you have a very good shot at all the schools you list.</p>

<p>For another LAC, maybe Wesleyan or Vassar, or Middlebury, Hamilton or Colgate if you don’t mind rural. Amherst, Williams or Swarthmore as reaches. Worst they can say is no!</p>
