[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think ordinary ECs matter as much as you think they do, especially for boys. [/quote] +1 What does he do outside of school? That's an "activity". Does he work in the summer? That goes on the list. My son's only in-school EC was occasionally working stage crew for theater productions. But he worked in the summers, played guitar on his own, golfed with grandfather. We volunteered as a family with our church so that went on the list. My DD was much more involved at school but also listed the time she spends drawing/painting since that is a big way she spends her time. FWIW, DS applied only to big state schools and got in everywhere that he applied other than UVA (which was never happening just based on GPA/rigor so I don't know why he bothered). He's happy at VT and still not a joiner.[/quote]
