[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many big state schools don't look for STEM ecs, just that you did something with your time.[/quote]

OP here,

He’s a busy kid.  He’s just busy doing things like building the sets for the school play, working part time for a landscaper, playing a club sport and a school sport, a coaching summer swim etc . . .

What about small school options.[/quote]

That’s completely fine. A lot of engineering schools like to see kids do creative things too. Building sets for the school play is creative and also is relevant to engineering. He is designing and building things. 
My kid got into a top engineering school without robotics club and the like. [/quote]

I agree. My kid had 0 stem activities other than Math Honor Society and a science award. All her activities were theatre and music and dance. She got into several T15 listing math as a potential major (& arts). Not the same as applying for Engineering, but I think there it would be even more of an asset to have arts ECs. I totally agree about the sets. Could he take on a leadership role w/ the TD? Like Asst Designer or ATD? Good luck![/quote]
