[quote=Anonymous]It does not matter much as long as they use their summers for something. To be fair, most of our kids’ friends who were successful getting into ivy/T15 or wasp Lacs had multiple meaningful summer activities. Class of 2020 and class of 2023, my own attend/ed different ivies. One won a fellowship to an academic based summer program, and worked as head kid’s swim team coach, and volunteered for a local nonprofit. That was one summer, before senior year. Other summers were just the swim job but more weeks. Other kid did research with a PhD, 80-100 hrs getting the eagle scout with a local nonprofit they worked with the entire prior summer and in school year, and also attended a highly competitive academic governors school for a few weeks. They are 23 and 20. Their good friends did similar: multiple projects, competitive arts camp, and a job. From what we hear it is not any less competitive now. Once they are attending the ivy they meet people who have done similar or even more. Busy is a way of life at elites. AOs understand the kids and culture is intense and select from among the top-rigor, top-stat pool to get those who will thrive. [/quote]
