[quote=Anonymous]When I read this title, I thought... what kind of person doesn't have any ecs? Someone who has to work to support her family? Someone like Mark Zuckerberg, who taught himself how to program? Oh, a gamer. Working and having driving passions are both time-sucks that take away from EC time but look good to colleges. Gaming is a time-suck that does not, and I'd definitely worry. He'll get in somewhere, but I'd really try to encourage him to find something other than video gaming, not to get into college but to help him become a more well-rounded person. My brother was a big gamer, and got really into learning Japanese -- he ended up taking classes at our local university (not expensive) and ultimately majored in east Asian languages. It doesn't need to be all "stressed out robot" for you to help him become a person with marketable interests. [/quote]
