[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If that’s what people on here mean when they say “Great ECs” my kid has a better shot than I thought. I though “Great ECs” meant State champion sprinter and Academic Decathalon 2d Place.  The stuff listed by pp is attainable![/quote]

music though I think is the real EC schools like to see even if it's not national level. [/quote]

Where is your evidence for this?[/quote]

Yes, I'd wonder about thus. But Harvard does like well rounded and especially looks for commitment to service. Still think PP's kid is probably not applying from DMV though.[/quote]

I also think there are hooks we're not be told about. My kid with these kind of stats and ECs was competing with classmates with patents for detecting eye diseases or who had discovered solutions to math mysteries that university professors hadn't been able to solve in the last 100 years. I also wonder about whether participation in girl scouts and bumble bee soccer in kindergarten should count.[/quote]

Lots of kids only have access to Girl Scouts & “bumblebee soccer” as extracurriculars.[/quote]

Sure, but we were told only to include high school ECs, not stuff our kid was doing when they were 5. Bumblebee soccer is what they do when they are 5 when the whole team is swarming after the ball.[/quote]
