[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read through a few posts here, many mentioned jobs as EC.  Where did you apply for these jobs that get an unhooked applicant into T10?  A job may be broadly interpreted as including an internship.  Believe these jobs have to tie with your theme of passion or interest to make it work.  So, if your unhooked students get into T10, please share how they get these jobs.  Thanks.[/quote]

My unhooked ivy kid did not have a paid summer job. They did auditioned arts things in the summer, plus a competitive online academic thing (covid summer), plus a very difficult admission summer governor’s school. In the school year they babysat some and taught lessons to neighbors for small fees that parents insisted on, but none of that made it to the app because there were two huge ECs in addition to the arts one plus major volunteer endeavors in two different areas for two different reasons, both were more than a year, plus some school leadership in clubs that tied in to other things so was more important to highlight. They got into four T10s and many T11-25s. It was still probably the courses and the stats that were most impressive, but the academicky and artsy ECs instead of a job did not seem to hurt the app[/quote]
