How to show validity in ECs

Note: I will be vague in my post for anonymity

Two of my biggest EC activities are: started a company which crowdfunded 10k, and president of an organization which raises, invests, and donates money to charity fund, donated roughly 4k. Both of these were done completely by me, from organizing meetings with business owners to pitching to them.

I feel these are strong ECs but I don’t want colleges to get the impression my parents did these and I took credit. Besides working them into my essay, is there a way I can do this?

anyone

I think colleges would understand that you did it yourself. The only possible way of talking more about it would be through essays, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Why would anyone think your parents did it? I don’t see the need for this.

ok, this was just a worry of mine but it is clearly unnecessary @intparent @imnotarobot

Defintely including them in your essay would be the way to go.
