Very typical, a few honor societies, top choir, school plays, club officers, 3 sport varsity captains, HOSA, CORE, church peer leadership (including overnights), world ranked Irish dancer (danced for 12 years), part time job + regular babysitting, a lot of shadowing hours, started an awareness day for Tourette’s starting in 8th grade and continued through HS. No hooks. I’ve just heard that Rutgers honors college is worth it, also heard TCNJ is not (my kids have a lot of friends who went to Rutgers, my husband and oldest are graduates). My daughters ended up in honors at their colleges and say it was worth it, but not the end of the world if they needed to drop out do to scheduling issues (my daughter’s boyfriend dropped senior year). They really wanted to go OOS anyway (what is up with students so against in state flagships).
