[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Congrats to the admitted students! Can you please share what kind of profile your child has to be admitted as a local? My junior would love to go: 32 ACT, 5 on AP exams, 4.67 weighted gpa but no extra curriculars or volunteering at all. He has a job as a dog walker. [/quote] My best advice (similar kid just admitted to top 10 school): invest time and money into bumping that score up to a 34. It is very very doable for a kid who already has a 32. ECs? Don’t sweat it. Instead, reframe that dog walking and personal hobbies/interests into a coherent story. For my kid, we reframed his eccentric hobbies and interests into a story that showed him as a funny, interesting guy who has strong interests and passions. He is not a joiner of clubs and activities, but this worked for him. GL![/quote] Please share more about your journey...how did bumping up to a 34 change things for your DC?[/quote]
