[quote=Anonymous]My freshmen really loves his extracurriculars. He is involved in music, theater, plays several sports, has a job and volunteers. But it's clear that he can't do all those things and get straight A's, even though his course load is far from "most rigorous". The first quarter he got grades from B- to A, with an unweighted GPA around 3.5. He's in a peer group that puts a lot of pressure on themselves, and is wondering if he needs to cut back on extracurriculars to get higher grades so he can go to the "best" college, but I'm really not convinced that's the right path. I feel like he'll have lots of options, and that once you're not looking at the T50 (which I suspect he wouldn't be anyway) then I'm just not sure there's a huge difference in outcomes. What do other people think? [/quote]
