[quote=Anonymous]There’s only ten spaces in the common app to briefly describe activities. Surely over the past three years your kid has done at least ten things. Break out the time he spends gaming and coding and spin it as relevant toward developing knowledge and expertise in being a computer science major Then itemize individual competitions he has done, the volunteer days, the teaching other kids how to code and game etc. I think you can even list work he did to support the family, like babysitting younger children or chores. The key is to show a portrait of a person passionate about developing knowledge and skills, and sharing that knowledge, in the area of computer science. Given his 3.8 gpa he might be eligible and chosen for scholarships if the school likes his application. [/quote]
