<p>I’m a sophomore too and once you go through these threads enough you’ll realize ec’s go only so far. True commitment is really what sets you apart. For example, I am studying a bunch of USNCO since it relates to my future major and I’m trying to make IChO. Furthermore, I enjoy research so I’m asking close by colleges to take me in so my other high school friends and I can do some research there. Also try to win some awards if you are going die hard on getting into a good school (not saying you are). Just do stuff that you enjoy. Good luck.</p>
<p>I also used to be like obsessed with how “unique” and “leadership” in my ec’s but just have fun doing them.</p>
<p>Relax just keep doing what you’re doing and it’ll all work out. Promise. (:</p>
