<p>the beginning of your senior year? </p>
<p>if so, all the volunteering/extra curriculars you do after that won't matter cause you can't put it on your resume...is that correct?</p>
<p>Won't matter? Aren't you doing it because of the sense of fulfillment you get, though?</p>
<p>yea i do...but part of its for college...im sure so many people wouldn't bother if colleges weren't looking for it...you know it</p>

<p>cut the crap...</p>
<p>Excuse me?</p>
<p>Tomorrow when you go to the bathroom to take a dump, take some scissors and cut a piece of the dump and throw the separated pieces in to the ceramic bowl. </p>
<p>etranman1: I agree with MelancholyDane. Don't stop ECs after ur college apps are in. You can slow down on less interesting ones. I never gave up tennis and volunteering even after getting in to my top choice colleges.But to answer your question, your ECs might matter even after ur in. For example, what if you are waitlisted at a university you really wanted to attend? You would have a better shot at getting off the waitlist if you did some amazing ECs your senior year aftter your apps are in.</p>

<p>yes, this is exactly what I meant...</p>
<p>Early applications are in at the beginning of November. I forget when you have to turn in RD apps, things like these depend on the school usually, but it's a couple months later.</p>
<p>MelancholyDane,as much as you hate to admit it. You know very well that if it weren't for college, you wouldn't do countless hours of volunteering, or millions of hours of EC's, just for fun?</p>
<p>To say it doesn't matter is not quite true. The earlier you apply the less likely it is perceived that it was a last minute choice. Many schools say supplement "ASAP" (Dartmouth and Boston College do) to get your app open. If you're concerned, say you will send updates and then follow up. Write letters. They will add them to your file.</p>
<p>if you get waitlisted at your dream school, you might want to send in some supplemental materials. at least, that is what colleges look for. so, if you had already stopped your EC's, what would you send them? </p>
<p>personally, i am sending some of my updates to MIT. i am waitlisted there!</p>
