[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid at an Ivy had mostly non-school related ECs- musical instrument (never did school band), research at local university, mentorship program/tutoring, PT job lifeguarding. Second kid applying to schools now has similar ECs, a couple school sports (small private so anyone can participate) but main sport is outside of school. Look for local volunteering opportunities, summer jobs, other mentoring/summer programs through local nonprofits. If you’re worried, take a peek at the supplemental essays for a handful of schools you think your kid might enjoy, and have them brainstorm ideas for these, then try to expand on those ideas through deeper involvement in particular activities over the next year.

Do you not understand what people are saying in the thread? Do you know how to read?

People are saying these opportunities are impossible to get. Summer programs are very selective. Research and the other stuff are unobtainable for most students [/quote]
