<p>@anniebeats: Virtually all pubic colleges, including 4 year and 2 year schools, do not look at EC’s – and there are more public institutions than private ones in the US and in the world. In addition, outside of the Common App colleges, many private colleges don’t look at EC’s either. Those colleges that do pay attention to EC’s are in the minority.</p>
<p>FWIW: T26E4 is an alumni interviewer for an HYP school, so he understands the college process more than most on CC and you can be assured that his numbers are accurate.</p>
