<p>@14daltg I was thinking the same thing. Im ultimately hoping my EC’s, awards, hooks, and the yoyo thing will make me stand out enough. My essays are killer it think. I wrote about how yoyoing changed my life for the common app, transitioning from band to football for the extra curricular, being the youngest person attending a D1 university for the academic vitality, a cute letter to my roommate, and how medicine is important to me because I want to help families who have a cancerous parent like I do.</p>
