<p>Hey guys, I wasnt really sure where to post this. I am a rising senior and looking back, I feel that my ECs are a little too "scattered" and lack focus. Please tell me your opinion on my EC's and how I can tie up everything next year. Thanks.</p>

Yeah, that is pretty much everything. As a side note, the reason why I could not continue a lot of these clubs was because I moved in the middle of sophomore year... Also, many people, again, tell me that I really lack focus and that colleges will not like this. What do u think? Any suggestions for other activities for this summer or next year? The way I see it is that I am a guy that wants to be a doctor, loves to read and write in free time, loves sports, and loves to lead by example... but idk.... Thanks!</p>
<p>@loseyourself- you need to apply for a job. It is really tough to get it. I am gonna apply next month. @DecemberBug- So, do u think that I should take Model UN and Spanish Club off of any applications or just keep them?</p>
<p>My $.02 = Cash the cricket club and start up a rugby club. It will be more fun, less boring to spectators, and as a future MD, a rugby club is a much better oppportunity to build your practice.</p>
<p>@HarryJones- No, I am not sure if I will get it due to the fact that I have not applied yet. But, I am fairly sure I’ll get in with my love for sports and my love for writing. Besides, you can keep applying every month until you get a shot at writing for them (As a side note, there is a 20% acceptance rate)</p>
<p>I think they’re pretty good overall. But, what exactly does the website DO? What causes does it advance, what purpose does it serve, how’s the traffic? Anyone with a little pocketmoney can make a website, but what matters, and I think what adcoms care about, is what you did with it.</p>
<p>@ Dramamine- I am trying to get money for donations. Also, I am trying to spread awareness about different Heart Diseases. Any suggestions for “doing something special” with my website?</p>
<p>Maybe you can ask a cardiologist to post weekly articles pertaining to heart disease/make it like a blog, post stories about survivors of the heart diseases, create a fundraiser to help get screenings for those who can’t afford it, etc.</p>
<p>Drop Spanish…seems like a waste of time if you take Spanish as a foreign langauge at school. Model UN seems like a waste of time as well…after all, you don’t actually do anything LOL it’s “model” UN</p>
