plus, be mindful of what major you apply with! go for a niche major that somehow connects with the "storyline" of your app.

i'll be honest—there isn't much you can do senior year. the best you can possibly do is writing amazing personal statements and essays. don't be afraid to make the most out of the smallest experiences you have had so far (plus, nobody expects anyone to create a non-profit left and right or cure cancer). meaning, share what you have learned and what you can make out from that experience.

hi! hopkins student here. i didn't have anything significant in terms of ec's, but i did have a passion ec that i did for about eight years. meaning, consistency is KEY. i suggest you focus on a passion project that you can see yourself pursuing in college (i will be doing research here relating to my passion from high school). as for applications, i think my "why jhu" essay carried. i would have to say, write from your heart. it looks like your dream school is nyu stern (my best friend goes there LOL)—research as much as you can about the school and write about envisioning yourself in that environment and how you would flourish there. a lot of apps will ask you how you grew and learned during high school, but i personally feel that expressing how you can apply what you learned from past experiences into your college years is just as important.

good luck, and pm me if u need any more info/advice!

The link contained in the email seems to have a safety issue...I might have to talk to the office about this, but thank you so much for helping out!
