[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  read through a few really good posts.  Sounds good, but how your teens manage to have time for that level of accomplishment?  With all the APs, club activities, volunteering, varsity and club sports, now a job he has to perform well.  Could you share how your teen manage through HS, that would be very helpful.  Thanks.[/quote]

Depending on where you are in this process, this may sound crazy to you: There are many many successful top 20 and Ivy candidates who don’t list our all 10 activities on their EC list.

How can they be successful? Depth and breadth.

A few random extra sports does not make a difference. Same with being a member of random clubs if you are not a leader and have not been deeply involved - with demonstrated impact - in that club. in many cases the best involvement is not a club at school, but one outside of school because the impact is greater.

The best application might only have one or two extracurricular clubs at school (w/leadership), one sport, and all of the rest of the activities may be outside jobs, volunteer opportunities, involvement in larger organizations and personal interests…..[/quote]
