[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD’s extracurriculars are Girl Scouts, played some soccer (rec), volleyball (also rec), and is really good at 3 languages. If she has a 4.4gpa, what are her chances at the T30 schools? [/quote] Honestly? Low. If you have a kid who is a junior or above and the only activities are rec soccer and rec volleyball (not a huge commitment) and GS (possibly a big commitment), that’s very limiting. Unless her “good at 3 languages” means a job related to them, tutoring, translating, etc. [/quote] Unless there are something really unique, these activities are totally not going to help with ivy admissions. Tutoring, every high school kid tutored at some point. But if you’re a dyslexic kid tutoring other dyslexic kids—that’s something unique and memorable. Model UN: too many kids doing this, not helpful unless national award Varsity: good for personal growth. Useless for college admissions unless you are a recruit.[/quote]
