[quote=Anonymous][quote]My kid does 3 sports and is in the most rigorous academic level. Does he occasionally get a B? Yes. Does he have something after school every day and on the weekends? Yes. I don't tell him to do this. [/quote] +1, though swap out one sport for a PT job. Based on the admissions we know about, it seems schools are looking for active kids, taking rigorous classes who earn a few B's. Not one of my DC's private school friends lied about their ECs. That's a pathetic, try hard move. However, they laugh about the clubs they want to start or efforts to be elected club leaders. [/quote]
