Meta curricular Form

Hi guys, i hope you are doing well, i wanted an opinion,

Since the meta curricular form only allows for 5 accolades, I feel like I’m neglecting a ton of work if I just pick 5 individual ones. Is it viable to write them in genres? For example, putting all my debates and oration wins under one slot and community service under another? Or will admissions think I'm dodging the limit?

I am highk very concerned cuz my application is fully based on ECAs

How to make elite ECAs carry an application with average grades? (computer engineering)

I’m applying for Computer Engineering with mid-tier O/A Level grades (A and Bs in O levels, Bs and C in As) but my extracurriculars are essentially carrying my profile. I have a couple of international accomplishments in mind sports, national-level debate awards, and have attended international camps. I’ve also founded multiple forums and societies, held major leadership roles (council and societies), and have a solid portfolio of STEM projects and community service.

How do I structure my application so that the admissions office focuses on my builder and leadership potential rather than just the transcript? I’m worried the grades might overshadow the fact that I’ve been operating at a high level elsewhere. Should I make up a portfolio on some external platform and attach it somewhere in my application? Any advice from people who got in with mid-grades and heavy ECAs would be huge, Thank you sm.

Edit: i want to get a good percentage of scholarship 😭🙏
