<p>besides local voulenteering, clubs, and sports (yes i realize gainign leadership in those) what are soem other good EC's?</p>
<p>I believe thats it. Unless you cure a disease…</p>
<p>Awards, while not going in the EC column, are as good if not better than EC’s</p>
<p>Curing cancer and ending world hunger is always good. Oh, and stopping the genocide in Darfur might win you some points. 
</p>
<p>Really, though, I’m convinced that publications are the key to success. I’m trying to get a novel and/or short story and/or science research published by the time college apps go out in two years. Hah. We’ll see how that goes.</p>
<p>Yeah because that’s super easy to do…</p>
<p>Adcoms really like it when you show consistency/a focus in your EC’s. For instance, I’ve been involved in choir for 9 years. It shows them that you have the drive/motivation/determination or whatever you want to call it to stick with something.</p>
<p>internships, jobs, music (intrumental/vocal), drama (having lead roles)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, it could be… if your writing is good enough and you know the right people. ;)</p>
<p>XD I suppose so.That’s the story with everything, yes? “If you know the right people…”</p>
<p><<<if you=“” know=“” the=“” right=“” people=“”>>></if></p>
<p>That’s how the world goes round.</p>
<p>And nepotism..can’t leave out the nepotism.</p>
<p>^^ o course not!
(ok im stupid what does that mean?)</p>
<p>internships!!!</p>
