[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are clubs really essential for college apps? Our junior absolutely refuses to join any.[/quote] No, not essential. They just should be doing something outside the classroom that interests them. I think people tend to use "club" as shorthand for school-based ECs. My kids were not in any "clubs" but DD was in symphonic and marching band for 4 years and volunteered with an outside-of-school organization. DS worked stage crew and volunteered at our church. Both also have personal hobbies they spend significant time on, which continued into college.[/quote] Doesn't every kid do something outside of the classroom that interests them? Unless they are comatose. Why should what they (legally) do in their free time it matter for a college application as long as they have the smarts and their parents have the money?[/quote]
