If it paints a picture, add it. Even if it’s relatively new

As a lawyer, I laugh at the thought that any AO will think some high school kid is doing anything substantive in a law firm. Not even college kids are doing much. Not much to do until you’re actually a law student.

One of my kids is, like this kid, jumpy, doing lots of little activities. We plan to combine things. Is that really not an option here?

9 slots are filled inc combining many activities. Kid is not jumpy, just that this internship is brand new. Not all activities are law related, but should be included.

Mine had a 6 week political internship summer before senior year that was included on common app.
It was #7 or #8 on the list….Admitted to 4 T20.
Non-DMV high school.
It’s not that deep.
