garceyues Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hey guys, I was just looking for some feedback on my ECs. Ualberta is my top choice, and getting some feedback with other people who applied/got accepted would be much appreciated. I am currently heading into my third year. Currently, my ECs are as follows: -6 years ongoing involvement with an animal humane society -14 years ongoing involvement with soccer, will be coaching during the upcoming school year -4 years ongoing involvement with martial arts -working in a research lab this summer, should be doing a presentation at the end of it. I will be involved in research during the course of the semester in a different lab, and will continue to do summer research the following summer. -recently got involved with Big Brothers and Sisters -work experience at two different jobs from a while back I feel like they are quite underwhelming, and I am at a huge disadvantage because of this I really want to get them sorted out before I apply, but I am not really sure where to start. I have no idea how ECs are quantified or what categories/bases I should be covering, other than to follow the CANMED competencies, which seems rather vague. Any thoughts or suggestions? I really need it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Firstly, welcome to the Forum! Your ECs are certainly not underwhelming! And stick with Big Brothers and Sisters. You do realize that you don’t have a clue when and where lightning will strike and, therefore, to enhance your chances you will need to apply broadly. At this stage, you are not at any disadvantage. I would be happy to look over your application material as you go provided you give me the full criteria together with your drsft submissions.

That is good to hear! I would think that at best, they would be maybe average? But I guess I wouldn't really be the expert I will for sure be sticking with Big Brothers and Sisters. Any recommendations for improvement in regards to my ECs? Yeah, I agree that casting my net wide is definitely a wise move. Thank you for offering to do that when the time comes! It is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
