<p>Girl007 - where will you be going in the fall?</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone on all of your success!! I would like to suggest that an “extracurricular activities (place leadership in parenthesis)” category be added to the stats. I believe that is a very important component to an application and we could all benefit from sharing that information.</p>
<p>Facedownclap-- umm</p>
<p>i think a leadership section would be a good idea. but, many people might not want to be specific about ECs (like me) because it is identifying, especially if they are unique.</p>
<p>i put the wrong bio score but oh well</p>
<p>Harvard!!!</p>
<p>Girl007- what are your stats? Congrats on Harvard.</p>
