<p>^impetus I bet my ECs could give you a run for your money for not being strong. </p>
<p>I can’t wait until April–my best friend has lower stats than me and what seemed like lower ECs (or at least far less time-consuming ECs, but very atypical and career-focused) and she’s got into UChicago early, just got a likely letter from Duke and it’s making me realized how much not being focused on my career and trying out all different ECs during high school has hurt me. I hate the fact that if one saw my resume they’d be like “Oh, she joined a lot of clubs with not a lot of deep interest to plaster on her resume” when I really joined a lot of clubs just because I still haven’t realized what I like best. :/</p>
<p>And CC is driving me crazy too! I was convinced last night that I wasn’t going to get in anywhere and started crying. When the reality is I’m in 2 schools, with an amazing merit scholarship at one, so even if all my top schools reject me, I still did OK.</p>
