Do you think her profile is too "basic"? She says she regrets not picking more creative ECs, although I think her ECs were perfectly suited for her major + demonstrated her passion.[/quote]

Yeah, I agree there is nothing that stands out in her ECs.

ECs:
not impressive: - A few regional awards (STEM)
Actually good:  - 200+ volunteer hours @ local hospital
everyone has one:  - Founder of non-profit
this year AOs don't like research for some reason:  - Research w/ prof at T30
everyone has one:  - Competitive summer program for BME
everyone has this: - Lots of community service

This year I heard Stanford retracted an acceptance because the applicant lied about volunteer hours.
Are those 200 volunteer hours @ local hospital registered with the school?[/quote]

Yes, she made sure that everything was registered. I'm assuming the more "basic" ECs were the factor harming her application?[/quote]

You would think so, but Cornell would be thrilled to take in this applicant (without great ECs).  WL from Cornell seems to suggest there is something wrong.  [/quote]
