If I could change one thing....

<p>mudafueken EC's i had no idea they were so importante</p>

<p>...my EC's</p>

<p>people tell me they aren't enough.
Would have done sports
would have done more
i have only 10 or so or so</p>

<p>As a freshman, I was sure I wanted to be a lawyer. I participated in Mock Trials and discovered... I didn't really like it. So I went through a period in my sophomore and junior years in which I really didn't know what I wanted to do, and as a result I have virtually no ECs (two small one year things, that's it). In retrospect, it would have been better to join ECs solely to impress colleges (as disgusting as I think that is) rather than actually looking for things that I'd actually want to be in. Part of my problem is that I've always gotten good grades not because I wanted to get into a good college, but rather because I just wanted to get them and it came natural to me. As a result, I never really seriously thought about college and my career until late into my junior year. Now, I'm looking at a great GPA and class rank, a very good SAT, and nothing in terms of ECs, which should be the most controllable thing on my application.</p>

<p>i put ECs, wish I had more of a passion
also would like to improve SAT Is, people on this site make me feel like an underachiever</p>

<p>I would definitely change my GPA now that im filling out apps i just look back at my classes and think i couldve gotten a 4.0 easy if i actually tried instead of partying ... but i'll still probably get into my 1st choice Ohio university so who cares</p>

<p>I would re-do...all of it.</p>

<p>I didn't become serious about college until my junior year, so I got on the bandwagon WAY too late. As a senior now, preparing to apply, I've got no volunteer hours, no community service, barely two or three ECCs, and my SAT scores are absolutely abysmal.</p>

<p>Would that I could do it all again...</p>

<p>my tenth grade grades and my eleventh grade class choices.. I think If i could go back in time I would quit student council, and spend more time in academics</p>

<p>I would DEFINITELY change extracurriculars, join some clubs like FBLA, the school newspaper & get some leadership position, do more volunteer work & basically do more leadership things.</p>

<p>my gpa, definitely!</p>

<p>this is a test for the forum test</p>

<p>the interview, im cringing just thinking about it</p>

<p>my ECs, but I would rather just go to UT because of their auto acceptance than do a bunch of pointless ECs to get into Ivys. I also had a horrible interview at Scripps, but I decided not to apply later anyway.</p>

<p>SATs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HATE THEM!!!
WISH SOMEONE PLANS A TERROR ATTACK IN ETS HEADQUARTERS,
or just change my score for me ;)</p>

<p>i have 740 math, and yet, my verbal scores are CR-480 WR-530
GERRR!!!!
if only i could speak english better...
if only i had lived in America since i was little...
is anyone a hacker here? if you are one, can you like, hack the collegeboard website and change my grades? pretty please?? cherry on top <3</p>

<p>Definetely EC's. I have great test scores and grades (at least in my opinion), but my lame EC's and the fact that I only have a few of them make the better schools slight reaches for me when most other kids with my stats are in because they have done a lot outside of school. My life would be so much easier if I had just done some volunteer work and tried running for office for a club or two...oh well.</p>

<p>ECs, probably (unless my grades suddenly divebomb : ) I never joined a sport until junior year because I always thought I wasn't atheletic enough... but next year I'll be on the varisty team. I hate that colleges will probably see me as someone who started a sport just to put it on their college apps, because that wasn't my intention at all : (</p>

<p>i wouldn't change much, because everything i'm in, I enjoy. if anything, i'd change myself so that i would do a little less but with more community service. but, all in all, i'm happy. 4.56 weighted gpa, 2290 SAT, 780 math level 2, 760 ush, 720 chem, prez of nhs, drama (25 hrs/wk), etc, etc. </p>

<p>i do wish i could write better.</p>

<p>S2dalcomiS2, I totally understand how you feel!!!!</p>

<p>I just wish SATs would die.</p>

<p>i would definitely change my GPA. I wish I had cared more about my freshman/sophomore grades. I relied too much on the reputation of my school as difficult, but I don't know how far that will carry me. We'll see when December rolls around.</p>
