<p>What's the point of having tons of EC's when the Common Application only allows up to 7 lines? And what if you don't fill up all 7 lines but you have 4 which are really impressive? Will that hold me back?</p>

<p>If you need more than seven lines then feel free to attach another piece of paper. Make sure though you know the school's you are applying to policy on additional papers. If you have only four lines filled, don't fret. Its the quality of the EC's that matter, not quantity. If your EC's truely are impressive like you say they are, than it won't hold you back.</p>
<p>And to answer your first question, there is no point in having tons of ECs.</p>
