<p>your EC looks boring, compared to other harvard applicants</p>

3

<p>The fact that you’re an AA with those kind of academics should be enough for most of your schools.</p>

4

<p>Into at least one. I’d say more, though.</p>

5

<p>EC’s are average, AP scores are kind of weak, SAT score is fantastic, GPA looks great, you have a good shot at the ivy league and stanford (minority), I would say you will probably get into Cornell, the rest are toss ups but you will probably get into at least one other ivy or stanford.</p>

6

<p>What would be so not so average EC’s i could get involved with? I like writing and I was thinking about tutoring the elementary kids in my neighborhood.</p>

7

<p>my top 5 are

  1. Yale
  2. Harvard
  3. Stanford
    4.UVA
  4. Georgetown/ Princeton</p>
8

<p>A couple of guys at my school were thinking about starting up a Ultimate frisbee team. Lol i know it sounds silly but it’s pretty unique.</p>

<p>You shouldn’t have to ask people to suggest unique ECs for you. You should be able to follow your passions independently. </p>

<p>With the URM hook, you’ll probably get into at least one of them. Make sure you have safeties you like and can afford.</p>
