<p>I have just finished my application and started finding something to do. I have a talk with my counselor about the evaluation in the commonapp. He thinks that my ECs and my academic performances have been already reported through my r</p>
<p>Those are very odd thoughts. Are you an international student?</p>
<p>Yes, I am.</p>
<p>Tell your counselor that the evaluation is about you, not him, and he should write the best recommendation he can. How many EC’s you have in no way reflects on this teacher and is likely not even going to reflect on you. </p>
<p>Some kids just have many more opportunities for EC’s than others. For some kids, their only EC is helping out in the family restaurant, or taking care of their younger siblings every day after school.</p>
<p>If you are this counselor’s best student, then that’s what he should say. The people reading your application understand that every school is different - that doesn’t make him a bad teacher!</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess 
My counselor is quite young and sometimes his thoughts may be weird He likes me a lot.</p>
<p>He’s wrong and needs to understand the app has nothing to do with him.</p>
