<p>This sounds kinda brutal but will prestigious universities frown upon the fact that my ECs are minimal due to my disability (Poor Vision due to severe eye disease)</p>
<p>honestly, probably. I mean they’ll consider it, but they might wonder what that has to do with EC’s.</p>
<p>An EC is anything that you do outside of class. Singing in your church choir and devoting a lot of time and energy to that would count. You do not need a ton of ECs. One or two that you are seriously committed to is all that matters.</p>
<p>Yes, but you can get around it. Whenever you have an issue with your application that worries you, address it head-on in your personal statement. If you talk about how your vision issues have presented you with challenges, but then also talk about how you have worked through and managed these challenges, then that sets up nicely to then talk about the things that you did do. This shifts the issue from, “he did not do enough,” to “despite his physical limitations he found a way to engage himself with the world around him.”</p>
