[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe if it's something like an instrument you can write "I've played for 10 years," but pretty much no.  Can you write that you did community service in high school on a job or grad school application?  Not unless it was extremely exceptional and still relevant to what you do, and in 99% of cases, no.[/quote]

So can I tell dh and dc definitively that nothing (including not only extra currics but her grades in 7th and 8th) can be used (for or against) dc's chances of getting into college?

My dc is the one concerned about this, not me, and I would much rather not have dc thinking about this so early but there are cousins going through the admissions process and it has trickled down.

Thanks again for the sincere responses[/quote]

If your kid is taking HS level math courses in middle school, the grades will count in the HS GPA.[/quote]

Yes (assuming that your kid does well and does not wind up retaking the class in 9th grade), that would be true with a foreign language credit, too, wouldn't it?[/quote]
