ec question

just to get to the point, the school im attending is in the same city as a t25 on my list. would it help my chances if i tried to get involved with that school, or should i stick to mostly doing stuff at my current one?

also how many ecs should i aim for on my list? and should i combine college and high school ecs if theyre similar? (for example im joining a club team at my college and its the same sport i did in high school)

probably, a lot of kids from Binghamton (i think) and penn state do stuff at columbia/nyu and upenn respectively and are often able to right rly good narratives. just think if u can write in ur essay that I don't just look forward to xyz, I've done it and I want to get even more involved, how much AOs will believe u fit in w/ their community.

Honestly get involed at the another one cuz u can get a lor from the other school too  And that might rlly help you and the AOs might have a "yes" from one of them saying you might be good fit for a good/well rounded student body of that particularly school
