Weak EC's?

Colleges and Universities A-Z California Institute of Technology

<p>Hello, I was just wondering if my EC's are considered weak to CalTech since none are related to science or math. My school doesn't host a math team/club or science team/club and there aren't any local programs for math/science activities which is totally unfair.</p>

<p>Yes, it looks like your EC’s are weak for Caltech, as they would like to see Math and Science related activities. However, your EC’s might be good for many Ivy leagues, and also perhaps for Stanford. Anyway, why do you want to go to Caltech? Wouldn’t you be happy at a place like Cornell, etc? Most of these places might require good SAT scores though - just EC’s only are not good enough. Hope this helps somewhat.</p>
