[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not how it works. ECs are table stakes for showing you don't play video games exclusively.

Rare ECs are a boost for useful but rare skills like getting a bassoonist in the orchestra vs the 50th violinist that they don't need (but it's still fine as a basic EC/C for well roundedness)

Leadership activity is for showing you aren't a pure sheep, not about how huge of a leader you are in high school.

Awards are considered separately, and can be EC or C, that make the school famous.

Basket weaving is rare but not very interesting, while robotics is common but in more demand for engineering programs.

you sound like quite a sheep yourself. there are fewer bassoonists than violinists, sure, but also little need for them. bassoon repertoire is minimal and boring and they play three notes per concert.

in contrast, violin is the most important instrument in orchestra, by far. first violins carry all the tunes, CM leads the whole orchestra and has frequent solos.  [/quote]
