<p>What are considered to be great leadership/ecs for selective schools? I don't have very many so I was curious.</p>
<p>Find something you’re passionate about and work with that.</p>
<p>I agree with TYbasegod. Also, if there aren’t any clubs or organisations that you’re passionate about, make them. Publish an article on them (preferably to a huge journal). And always be nice to people.</p>
<p>does stanford ever admit people with low gpas but really good ECs? worrying…</p>
<p>Depends how low the gpa is…below a 3.0 probably would be very difficult, but not impossible. There’s a chart of last year’s acceptees and their gpa’s somewhere. </p>
<p>Its not the ecs themselves so much as what you do with them. Being very involved/highly competitive at one extra curricular is much more impressive than dabbling in three or four. I was accepted to Stanford (probably mostly based on my ecs) if you want some ideas. I do music (and from this year’s Stanford fb group, so do a lot of people) and varsity chess. One of my teachers used to always say one art and one athletic extra curricular was best.</p>
<p>^ What GPA and SAT did you have though? I have pretty good ECs imo but my stats are quite lacking xP</p>
<p>I had a 3.9 UW and 2190 SAT. One of my friends who got in last year had a 3.7 and 1800. She got in while three kids with 2400s and 4.0s from my school got rejected.</p>
