Hii im currently an igcse student that is planning on taking bio chem and psych (and possibly maths) for A levels, and hope to go to a top 30 US school. For reference im an American citizen living abroad and pretty strong academically, (predicted 7A* and 2As but idk if thats gonna happen
). My dream school is Northwestern and i hope to apply with or work towards these ECAs pls let me know if there strong enough. (Btw ive done like 2 of them already)
Possible ECA list:
- Research project
- Psych/bio Olympiad (only if u place high)
- Red cross club founder and president
- Leadership in community service
- Workshop teaching academic skills to underprivileged children in slums (through community service club in my school)
- Some type of personal project e.g blog promoting education on neurodegenerative diseases
- Shadowing/internship
- Athletics + achievements
- Peer tutoring
- Summer research program (wanna apply for the neuroscience one at UCLA)
- Peer tutor for IGCSE chemistry at school.
These are just ideas pls tell me which ones i should go ahead with or need work also if it isn’t obvious i wanna major on neuroscience.
