[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If all their extracurriculars are STEM (robotics, coding, etc.) and they apply to be a ancient languages major admissions will see through it in a heartbeat. So I think you not only have to add in extracurriculars that support the intended major, you have to subtract things that heavily support something else. It doesn't help to say "hey I wrote in the school paper" for a Lit major if they kid then spent 90% of their free time coding. [/quote] Agree. But that’s where minor comes in handy too. And you have to start early and go deep. And it requires a ton of research. It’s not easy… but our private schools college counseling office is telling juniors to leave the computer science and engineering majors behind. Find some thing else bc it’s way too difficult. Especially if you want a selective school.[/quote]
