First Post: Grades and ECs

<p>How important are ECs for HMC? </p>

<p>I have pretty good numbers so far... I haven't taken any standardized tests yet besides the PSAT this morning. Right now I have a 4.0 GPA and I'm taking APs and community college classes. I'm getting a job soon and I'll be pretty busy with everything then.</p>

<p>OK just wondering! </p>
