<p>your ECs seem kind of scattered. definately focus on this : made it to national level in an art competition. Try to build on your art for the next few yrs. Maybe take art classes outside of school?</p>

<p>Yeah, it's last year's list, but so what? These ranking things aren't set in stone, and besides, I put this up so h2727 could have a list of schools to investigate. Feel free to suggest other schools for him/her to take a look at.</p>
