[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]extracurriculars are useless unless you are atleast regionally good but more importantly nationally good. I learned that when my first was going through the college process; he was a 3 sport varsity athlete, top 2% graduating class, 1500 sat's...didn't get into any ivies and went to his safety. so for my other two, they only focused on one sport which they became good enough to be recruited for, and they are not as bright or intellectually curious as my first child...and lo and behold, they were much more successful in the application process. jack of all trades, master of none is the worst thing you can be in the eyes of colleges it seems. which is completely different from what I remember when we all went to college.[/quote] Strong recognition in an EC is a + factor Jack of all trades is a non factor Absence of any EC is a - factor BUT - every school is different.[/quote]
