[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the advice to focus criteria first - for my DC they wanted semester, rather than quarter system, wanted STEM but interdisciplinary so preferred schools with single college rather than separate schools within an umbrella (can be hard to take classes outside of your school at some), wanted smaller class size but not too small a school. In terms of EC's it should be things that your student really likes and wants to do. For mine who is super social and active it was StuCo (elected all 4 years, ASB Pres as senior), proof based mathematics research, theater (lead roles in plays and musicals), debate at regional/national with awards) My kid was accepted to several T20 and is class of '29 at an Ivy.
