<p>What are some things you do for fun outside of school?</p>
<p>We don't have ECs where I go do to issues, so they "recommend" (aka force) us to do community service.</p>
<p>akybaky: Search for ECs outside of your school, look into community programs, perhaps your community has a charity foundation, hospital volunteering service etc And if you can't find any start one, that way you won't have to depend on others for your ECs.</p>
<p>Definetly look into starting something at your school or in your community. It shows that you have good leadership qualities.</p>
