[quote=Anonymous]OP to your original question, I would get a college counselor if you can afford one now. I think the landscape is changing and they will be able to help with the new nuances of ECs, testing and apps—as some schools remove essays from the apps, or require videos, or use AI to review them, ECs may increase even more in importance to distinguish oneself and a counselor will be willing to spend the time micromanaging through the bundling and writing descriptions of the ECs for maximum impact. They could help on optimizing videos or essays for AI review.

Separate small tip, we heard from a AO at an admissions event that the app readers weren’t necessarily familiar with engineering, so students should make sure to use talking points of the university in their applications. My son looked on college websites/brochures and made sure his supplementals used some of their key words specific to the college/major at their school and he had great admission results at schools requiring supplemental essays.
