<p>Hey all, </p>
<p>I'm in the peculiar position of have a resume that looks very strongly like I'm a future engineer or biologist, and interests in majors that are operating in very different departments... It's a very /good/ resume and I have a good set of test scores and a decent GPA, but I look like a different kind of student. </p>
<p>So if I'm applying to a school within a college that's /not/ in the fields my activity resume would emphasize: How screwed am I in admissions?</p>
<p>Too vague.</p>
<p>No. You are not in college yet, so your jobs on the resume have no affect on your admittance. They may help to indicate that your are an active person.</p>
<p>Hokay, here’s being less vague. </p>
<p>My ECs are things like loads of robotics, full-time engineering internships, programming competitions-- with other things like tech theater, performing arts, hon council, etc. but pretty science/engineering-centric. </p>
<p>How make or break is it if I’m applying to humanity-oriented special schools within universities?</p>
<p>Are you applyting to an impacted major, say a competitive film department? Then they are going to want to see some related accomplishments and dedicated talent in that area.</p>
<p>Are you applying to a traditional liberal arts area? Then no worries. Math and sciences are part of the liberal arts. You are allowed to be accomplished in all the areas. If your interests have changed or expanded that’s fine. You have more than just science and engineering anyway. But you can shape your application through the way you list your activities and in your essays.</p>
<p>There are many colleges that don’t admit by major and just look at the entire application. For those that do admit by major, it is usually more of a problem if it is the other way around, with humanities EC’s when you want to study engineering.</p>
