ECs- What would you rate mine?

<p>So I'm banking quite a bit on thinking my ECs are not so shabby... but I'd like to have other opinions on that. Not gonna list all of them, just the main ones, otherwise you'd be extremely bored.</p>

<p>Any input is welcome, 1-10 ranking would be great also for an easy to see view of them. Thanks!</p>

<p>-Second semester junior year studied abroad in Israel, very academically heavy program (1.5 hours a day of Hebrew, 3.5 hours a day of Jewish History, and THEN full day of school), selective program, helped me focus on my passion (language/international relations)
-Tutoring Spanish-speaking underpriviliged kids at an innercity school in English (I live in Arizona)(just as a senior though... its something i'm passionate about and am really excited to get involved in, prob 4 days a week)
-2006-2007 Communications Vice President on Temple Youth Group Board
-2007-2008 Programming Vice President on TYG Board
-2007-2008 Regional Historian for National Federation of Temple Youth-Southwest</p>

<p>There's a lot more, but the three main components are my semester abroad, my tutoring, and my involvement with NFTY.</p>

<p>Would you say I'll stand out EC-wise to schools? I'm hoping I'm someone they'd notice based on ECs.</p>

<p>umm, its good that u r pretty involved with your temple youth group, but other than that nothing really stands out. sry</p>

<p>You show great dedication with that one area of interest, but not much at all in anything else really. Do you do any sports or arts? Play any instruments?</p>

<p>On the other hand, your lack of diversity in your activities may not necessarily be a bad thing. You certainly demonstrate a passion for the languages, and especially Jewish culture with all the Temple Youth activities. If you can further expound on this in your essays, it could very well help you get into a great international relations program (assuming that you have good grades and whatnot).</p>

<p>It's so hard with my ECs, because it just depends on the light in which they read them in. To me, I participated in a semester abroad which shows my passion for international relations/languages, my independence, and my intellectual curiosity. I'm hoping that comes across and it doesn't just look like "oh mommy and daddy sent her there for fun."</p>
