[quote=Anonymous]DS is a junior at a top university. He has better than a 3.5 gpa, and has a work-study job in the library. He is plenty busy with social things and some random volunteer work, but has not really stuck with any particular clubs or groups and certainly does not have any leadership roles to point to. He has had summer jobs of the usual variety for teenagers, but nothing particularly challenging or career-building. He is unsure of what he wants to do post-college, but will probably go to grad school at some point but not right away. Question: assuming he has a high gpa and good standardized test scores, will his lack of ECs in college, particularly lack of leadership or long-term experiences, and his lack of any "real jobs" hurt his chances for grad school or for finding a job after he graduates? What should I be encouraging him to do during his last 3 semesters of college to be better prepared for career or grad school? [/quote]
