[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In China and India EC's don't matter because the only EC is more homework/studying for regular subjects in cram schools. I don't think that's better than ECs. What is the scene in other countries? Do people just agree to chill out after school, and colleges admissions avoid favoring extra preppers? [/quote] The French exchange student we had last year said there wasn’t time for ECs in France. School was literally from 8am to 6pm every day with no sports or other “fluff” subjects. Just academics, that’s all. [/quote] This is similar to DC privates with the addition of sports. Academics and sports 8am to 6pm daily. Kids don't have near the extracurricular resumes of the public school kids (I have one of both). [/quote]
