[quote=Anonymous]Announcement, announcement: It's not about the ECs. It's about the kid. ECs tell something about the kid - it's how you do them, not which ones you do (and by how, it doesn't always mean "be the best"). ECs provide a lens through which colleges can learn about an applicant, via essays/the EC section of the app, letters of recommendation, etc. But colleges recruit the person, not the EC. Unique isn't always better. A unique EC can help you stand out, but it's not some magic secret trick for getting accepted. ECs should be done because kid wants to do them - and they should learn and grow by doing them. It's the learning and growth the colleges want. This can be done through common or obscure activities. It can also be done through inexpensive or even free activities, but of course, there are more opportunities to try different things and pursue higher levels when you are affluent.[/quote]
