[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carelton...Brrr. My sense is SLAC's these days are looking for interesting kids to fill out their ranks. [b]If you have a kid who gets decent grades and SATs but also raises chickens and started a business to sell the eggs and donate the proceeds to a food pantry, they will get consideration over a kid with decent grades and SATs who just volunteers at that food pantry. [/b] Kids who think outside the box a little. Kids who turn a passion into something interesting.[/quote]But if you have a kid who volunteers at the food pantry and reorganizes it where it feeds 3 x the number of people it has over past years and then comes up with a way to buy fifty cent shirts at the thrift store and resell them for $2 and donating the proceeds to the shelter to purchase used books, I think I'd take a 2nd or 3rd look at that kid.[/quote]
