[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A normal summer job. And I'm not kidding.[/quote]

Found this to be true, also. With all the passion projects and extracurriculars, many kids don't have time for a part-time summer job, so it stands out.[/quote]

How did you find it to be true? Meaning: how did you learn that an EC of a summer job helps make a kid stand out in college admissions?[/quote]

lol  People like to make up bs on this anonymous forum.  With a straight face ("Found this to be true..." "And I'm not kidding...").

It really doesn't.  Part time jobs or summer jobs are a dime a dozen.  Just take a look at any college admitted students profile page, you will see jobs are very common activities.  It's more common than varsity captain or club founder.

Arts acheivement, research publication, music performance at a high level, much much rarer.  [/quote]
"Research" has jumped the shark, just as "founding a nonprofit" before it.

Again, activities nees not be all about the awars mentality. Save being best, highest, etc for your grades and scores.
