Hey guys. My EC's are def. on the weaker side. I spend a lot of my time doing things I enjoy, like weight lifting, swimming. etc. I program on the side, but I don't do anything associated with a club or anything like that. I just do it for myself. How do I tell schools that I'm not a shut in. but this is stuff I do. I bench 300 lbs doesn't this count for something?

anyways, stats 22 aa, 3.2 sgpa, 3.3 cgpa. boring ECs but bench 300.

that's it?
 
^ LOL!

Really, if this is a serious post. No I don't think benching 300 would help your chances, if even mentioning it I would think it would put you at a disadvantage in comparison to not saying anything at all.

Think of it from an interviewers perspective... How will benching 300 make you able to better serve the public in regards to dentistry?

It might even put you at a disadvantage, if they think of it as; this guy with big muscles is gonna hack up someones mouth pretty damn good.

Personally I'd rather some skinny guy who can hardly speak english.
 
but what if my increase in my bench press is directly correlated with my success in the board game operation? isnt this something i should write about in my personal statement?
 
If you have a scientific research or mathematical research showing this correlation then I would presume it may be plausible.

Until then I think a little less keratin, and chrysin, might help... And a little more studying and ECs...
