[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, ignore any posters who uses "YMMV." It's just so annoying. Second, they're not handing out large merit scholarships to kids who have nothing other than good grades. Not gonna happen.[/quote] Ha that was me! My point was that OP's not working with much, therefore my suggestions might not pan out for her but I was trying to help. Your post didn't offer any alternative useful suggestions. But sure, OP's kid can get a run of the mill teen job, leave nine slots of the common app activity section blank and let us know how it goes![/quote] For most colleges it will go fine…not top 20 and not many in 30-50…but after that most colleges don’t care about any of the EC stuff. [/quote] The OP said her goal is a large merit scholarship at a good college. Logic would suggest that a kid would really need to distinguish themself to get a large merit scholarship. But YMMV!![/quote]
