[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Playing a sport as an EC is similar to listing National Honor Society. Everyone lists these. Good to list but nothing unique.[/quote] What? No. Low IQ take. NHS takes every warm body with a “good enough” gpa and a faculty sponsor. That’s nothing like having to make the team and go to practices and games. [/quote] Try to keep up. Not referring to skill set involved. Referring to activities that are so common that they do not allow your student to stand out among the piles of applicants. [/quote] Lol Yours still playing the “stand out” game? Shoving your kid at fencing, chess, squash, AI / robotics, baton twirler, debutante stuff, goalie positions, poetry? It’s all a wash. Frankly the team sport, social, super intelligent Renaissance Kid who doesn’t go postal at age 26 and shoot up some proxy target would be a good thing! [/quote]
