[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid should do activities that they like. Colleges will see passion if there is some. Don't try to manufacture it. Admissions officers see through BS faux non-profits and extracurriculars.[/quote] +1 Plus, you actually have to do that activity you are "passionate" about for years on end. That's not a way to live a life. My son actually did have some obscure passion (sorry, his story not mine so no details). By the time he wrote his college essay, he'd been doing his sport for more than 12 years as a participant in youth activities, and later as an adult participant, a refereee, and a coach. No one has time fro this without an actual passion.[/quote]
