[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is currently a freshman at a top 10 engineering school.  He did not do any of those engineering camps.  He did scout camp and a very inexperience games camp in Arlington where he played a game similar to dungeons and dragons all day everyday for four weeks.  He was in heaven.  His ECs were scouts (Eagle), orchestra (all four years of HS), participation in our congregation's youth group and he held a leadership position in the regional youth group from our denomination his senior year.  In two summers, he participated in volunteering internships with non-profits in the area.  One was working at a thrift store run by a non-profit (he was the only volunteer there that was not court mandated :) ). The other was helping out an organizations backpack and school supply campaign.  Apart from orchestra, he had no other participation in sports or other school related activity.   He did not save the world or cure cancer.  [/quote]

Curious how he did in Orchestra. Did he win any awards or stand out in any way or was he just a member?  Also, did he have any hooks such as legacy or URM?[/quote]
