[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a freshman in high school. He is a straight A, three varsity sport athlete and joined a few this year. If I left him alone, he would probably play his sport and that is it. While he is a great athlete, I do not expect him to be a D1 recruit. He could potentially be a D3.

What was your kid doing the summer after freshman year?

My kid is a very well rounded kid, almost too well rounded. He has a wide interest pool including art, science, engineering, history and political science.[/quote]

Parents do not need to worry or plan all this. Kids can follow their hearts in summer: sports or dance or camp counselor or a regular job or academic enrichment that they initiated . Mine did a combination of above and they all got into multiple T25s/attend ivy/+. Admissions is mostly about the transcript, and interviews ask what do you do that brings you joy, tell us about something you did that was important to you and why. Let it be your student who picks what to do with ECs, so they can interview and write essays from their heart. [/quote]
