<p>Hey i've got a general question about my essay. you all know the prompt, right? about academics, research and/or ECs.
now, i've got a total of 490 words in my essay. about 350 is on academics and 60 on ECs and only 80 on research.
now i've seen the research site, and a lot of it's medical etc etc and i wanna major in Eco at wharton. i've talked about that in the essay, but the research part obviously won't be as convincing as the rest of my essay is.
i had to cut short on the EC part, cause i was running out of words. But i guess that's okay cause they say and/or ECs.</p>

<p>my main question is, will the research part hurt me, or is it mainly for people who are interested in research?
this is a question on the essay, so don't just say 'you don't have research as an EC you'll never get in" or some crappy stuff like that.
Thanks.</p>

<p>If you don’t want to do research there, don’t write about research.</p>

<p>Talk about what you’re interested in. If EC’s and Research aren’t your thing, don’t sweat it. Focus on the academics. But I would think that you would want to participate in some type of club or organization! Talk about your PASSIONS. Not that hard…</p>
