[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GPA matters. 3.5 unweighted is low.

He's too busy. He shouldn't have a job during the school year. Only summers. The next thing he should cut down is volunteering during the school year. He should also cut any activity he does not truly enjoy. [/quote]

The problem is he loves all the things he does.

I'm curious why you think volunteering or working are less worthwhile than the other things.  [/quote]

I’m assuming he enjoys theater and sports more than his job. Most kids would enjoy their activity more than flipping burgers.[/quote]

Oh and re volunteering - I’m assuming sports and theater are during the school year. So let him focus on school, spirts, and theater during the school year. Summer can be for working and volunteering. I’m suggesting how to balance things without cutting things entirely.

One of my biggest regrets about high school is all the time I spent on activities. Since I had three or four hours of homework a night and o spent several hours a day on activities, I was often up past midnight working. I didn’t get enough sleep. [/quote]
