[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's very hard to get in with standard STEM ECs like robotics, math competitions, etc. You are competing with kids that are extremely strong for the "STEM slots" of the school. (Even if they say they don't admit by major they have humanities departments and don't want everyone to be a STEM major). An admissions expert on YouTube said you have to be winning BIG prizes to stand out. People say do blacksmithing or birdwatching but you don't know if AO reading your app will care about that. It can work but you need luck too. If you do STEM activities I think you have to be (A) winning big prizes at the top level for a good chance or (B) be very strong and have luck to get in.[/quote] Just saw blacksmithing in a college counselor zoom. It's definitely "a thing".[/quote]
