JMO–who knows really–but I doubt that a student could get into a top boarding school on brains alone. Especially a student who needs FA. If so, more of the 2370 SSAT, straight A students would be sure bets.

But every kid surely has interests outside of studying and taking standardized tests. Save the salamanders fundraisers? Pet chickens? Sandcastle building? I don’t think the “E.C.” matters as long as it shows interest in something outside the academic realm.,something besides brilliance in the classroom that the child could contribute to the community.
