[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only like 40 colleges care about ECs.  It doesn’t sound like your kid is destined for one, so don’t get so worked up about it.[/quote]

Rude!  Feeling good about yourself now?[/quote]

I honestly don’t think OP is somehow now trying to get her kid to do ECs to get into one of these schools…but thinks all colleges expect it.

Trying to clear up the misconception.[/quote]

Op. 1. I'm not ruling my kid out for top 50 yet.  2.  Is it really that only t50 care about ECs?!  I find that hard to believe.  [/quote]

Nothing special.  Just regular extracurriculars.
Outside the top 50, your GPA, test score, recommendations and essays are probably 90%+ of the admissions calculus

Any school with greater than 50% admission rate is probably not looking any deeper than that

At about 20% admission rate or lower, you start to need a little bit more because you have probably come close to maxxing out the other stuff[/quote]
