[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would anyone really know "how much" it helps? The only way you could assess this is if you have students with near identical credentials/characteristics, applying to the same school, one Eagle Scout and one not. That said--it's hard to become an Eagle Scout-it's a decent EC. [/quote] Is it uncommon overall? Yes. Is it over represented in the pool of top kids? Also yes. It’s like saying you have all A’s in 20 AP’s. That might be impressive when compared to your school but it’s the entry ticket to being competitive in a selective admission pool. The trick is having perfect grades, max rigor, Eagle Scout, THEN something else that truly makes the student standout such as an interesting essay about being gay in a troop of all straight kids, etc. [/quote]
