Applicant's Advice
"I know my ECs weren't the strongest—there was no real focus, just a collection of things I liked. I wish I'd demonstrated stronger interest in my chosen field and shown demonstrated interest to schools like Northwestern. Overall I did okay; UNC Chapel Hill is a great school and my situation could be much worse."
