[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Me too! Can you give details on how he managed all of these leadership positions? Two sports AND editor in chief of newspaper? AND student body president? What time did he go to bed, and wake up, and how did he manage to keep his grades in all his classes?[/quote]

NP, but also have a DC with high GPA/test scores, two varsity sports, and tons of ECs (elected class officer, EIC of paper, president of two clubs that have regular meetings, summer job, etc.).  My DC gets home from school around 6 pm, eats dinner, wastes time or sleeps for 30 minutes, studies/plays on phone for 4 hours, deals with any newspaper issues/drafts articles and goes to bed between 12:30 -1 am.  Gets up at 6:45 am.  On weekends sleeps until 11 at least, then works a few hours on Saturday and 6-8 hours on Sunday.  Usually hangs out with friends Friday and/or Saturday night.  It’s a terrible schedule, and I’m sure DC will feel like college is a break due to the amount of free time.[/quote]

NP. No college is worth that. [/quote]
