[quote=Anonymous]Strong ECs means: 1. school president 2. first chair in audition orchestra/band 3. elite-level athlete 4. multi-year (3+) community service commitment at the same organization 5. multiple awards won at top tournaments/conferences: speech and debater/Model UNer 6. steady job of any kind (McDonald's and the like=bonus) Strong ECs does NOT mean: 1. president of many clubs 2. started a non-profit 3. did research with a professor 4. participated in any or all of the "strong ECs" above but not with demonstrated commitment (i.e. many years) and/or significant recognition (i.e. varsity athlete but not top individual stats, on student council but not president) This list is not comprehensive but there is a great deal of misinformation here about what "strong ECs" means.
