[quote=Anonymous]You kid should do EC's and any job/volunteering that he likes or is complimentary to what he thinks he might be interested in (though not mandatory) - in 8th grade, the GPA is meaningless. Testing (SAT/ACT) may or may not be important in 3-4 years when your kid is applying, so in the short term, grades and ECs/Employment as well as some volunteering are the way to go. While an underclassman in high school, you may want to take on some informal visits to schools, just to get a sense of size, setting (urban, rural, suburban) and geography (new England, Mid Atlandtic, Midwest, etc)[/quote]
