[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PPs that the main thing is for kids to get involved in things that interest them and a basic teen job is great as part of that. My DS is at VT (admitted in 2021). His activities included being a summer camp counselor, long-term church service, playing guitar, school theater tech crew, and did a summer program related to his major. Beyond transcript and URM/1st Gen (which DS is not), what VT says is most important is their four short answer questions. Those cover service, leadership, working towards a goal, and I can't recall the 4th one. So, ideally there should be something the kid is doing that can address those points. He also applied to UVA and didn't get in which I completely expected because his GPA was below our school's usual threshold. But he wanted to give it a shot.[/quote]
