<p>this looks somewhat like a ■■■■■ to me, but if you are being serious, of course your activities are good
on the other hand there are thousands of Asians with the exactly same activities
for example, i think colleges are tired of people volunteering at hospitals, since everyone is obviously just using it to fill up their application</p>

They really discourage me. haha</p>

<p>Your ECs look good. I’m a 2014er as well (so I have yet to apply), but I think that upper-tier/really selective colleges look more at involvement and achievement in your ECs rather than the length of your EC ‘list’. Just remember, quality>quantity. Always.</p>
