[quote=Anonymous]I think those are all great options. In my admittedly limited experience, colleges just want to see that the student does [i] something [/i] with their time other than school. Any of those activities would show what sort of things your son is interested in, prove that he can balance schoolwork on top of other things, and possibly give him valuable experiences to talk about in essays or interviews. Community service is especially highly regarded, I think, as long as it's genuine service -- not just a bought & paid for experience that doesn't really benefit anyone -- and even more so if the type of service or the population served allows your dc to point to his work as an example of appreciating diversity and working well in a multicultural group environment.[/quote]
