[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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] I do know how to read. I said take a look at mentoring/summer programs [b]through local nonprofits[/b] not pay-to-play. My kids both secured research spots with local university professors through cold emails. We happen to live near our state flagship, so there are definitely professors looking for HS students who will shadow and will help with the grunt work (data entry, etc). The point I was trying to make is that most of my kids' ECs were done outside of school, and that volunteering, part time jobs and working with local nonprofits can create an interesting application with plenty of depth.
