<p>Your essays will be very important. Make sure they are “personable”, not just talking about accomplishments. Any reason there seems to be a drop in “EC” involvement in this year?</p>

<p>Thanks…the drop is because of members of the student’s clubs and organizations need to update (we kind of “retired”), and our school doesn’t allow voluntary work in Senior Three :frowning:
Still working on the essay and thanks again for your advice!</p>

<p>Make sure your essay is great and I’d say you have a chance! Good luck!</p>
