I'm hoping someone could give me some feedback on the ECs I have done up to this point. I have felt as if I had good ECs, but recently I've begun worrying I am missing some important stuff and wanted to know before its too late. I am planning on applying this next cycle in June, so if there are any recommendations or tips anyone has I would really appreciate it.
