[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, my spouse pays no attention to the increased competitiveness of college admissions. I’ll have to calm him way down in 18 months when he realizes how tough it is. [/quote] So I fretted sotto voce to my husband for about 18 months about ECs, especially as COVID was wiping out EC possibilities for my DCs - neither really have the skill set to be an effective online tutor, etc. They both scraped stuff together for ECs. They didn't save the world, but clearly showed that they were rooted in their community, etc. The '21 DC did quite fine given a lopsided transcript and the '22 DC knocked it out of the park. Some of their friends did not have similar success and nearly all of them have very weak ECs. DH finally admitted a month ago - "i guess you were right to worry after all about those ECs...."[/quote]
