So I’ll be applying to university next year hopefully ( I study in a 3rd world country jbtw) and want to see if my EC’s are decent enough for me to stand a chance of being admitted into HYP or a similar calibre college and in what areas I can improve
-I’ve won the various debating competitions ( also won the National Debating Competition of my country)
-General Secretary of my school’s Entrepreneurial Society ( will be President next year) and will be the head of two Entrepreneurial/Business Competitions. Also have won various national level business competitions.
- Executive Member of my schools Science Society( you can be Gen-Sec/President for only one society otherwise I had a chance in this society as well). Won various national level science competition, including a university level one. Also was selected for a national science camp ( one of 20 boys countrywide, albeit I was unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances). Was also awarded an Honourable Mention in the NASA Space Settlement Design Competition (yup it was ‘the actual NASA’ that holds this event, is a worldwide event as well)
- Editor for my Schools Magazine
- Have written for various national newspapers ( actual articles and not letters to the Editor etc).
- Have done over 200 hours of community service ( helping/teaching orphans, working in old homes etc)
- Headed two charity drives
- Internship at WWF, also will do an internship at a bank and firm this summer
- Started a research paper with the help of a Dean of a local university (he’s also been teaching at Cambridge University for 10 years and has been granted a leave for two years to be the Dean, will also get an additional recommendation from him hopefully).
Additional info: I study in my country’s most ‘elite school’ which has a handful of Ivies and MIT -esque acceptances each year. I’m also in the top 1% of my batch academically wise.
