[quote=Anonymous][quote] you are assuming that there is always a stark line between activities students are passionate about, on one hand, and activities required to get into a selective college, on the other. but this is not the case. a lot of kids are not particularly passionate about any of their activities, even ones they excel at. meanwhile, it's not quite clear what colleges are looking for, either. it makes sense that people are trying to figure that out..[/quote] If your kids are doing things just to check a box perhaps that's part of the problem and you should encourage them to look beyond "what do I need to do to get into X school" and just do things they enjoy. Maybe this line of thought is the problem. If your kids aren't passionate about their ECs I'd say they should find other ECs they are passionate about. [/quote]
