[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, but activities as a middle school student mean nothing on applications. I went to a boarding high school with 100% college acceptance; more than half of the students didn't have a single activity during middle school. As parents now, it's roughly the same percentage. The only activities that would even tick for an admissions counselor would be something that the kid did in middle school and high school, and if your child has to be forced into choosing something? They aren't likely to want to continue it later. I don't like have high school students pick up activities just to pad an application. Maybe that's just me. Not going to happen. If the teen wants to volunteer with the animal rescue, peachy, I know who she can talk to. Otherwise? Nope, not pushing it.[/quote]
