[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part-time job, high school sport, high school club. One valedictorian. Volunteer.[/quote] So basically every EC. [/quote] There’s a lot of other things you can do. None of my DC’s extracurriculars were school-based.[/quote] I understand that there are other things you can do outside of school. I know parents think their kids need to be doing beekeeping, knitting groups with senior citizens, youth advisory boards, bird watching, gardening, published research, fundraising, organizing political protests, engaging impact through local environmental groups, etc., to get into a top 20 colleges. But the assumption that having a job, joining a school club, band, yearbook, playing a sport or volunteering has no value to AO because it is too common is ludicrous. Thousands of kids like this are admitted to top colleges every year. [/quote]
