Yes, but for clarification, what I am trying to say is that kids with 3.3/1300 (or whatever; even 3.7/1400) shouldn’t spend a single second worrying about ECs for the colleges they will be aiming for because normal activities will be fine. Seems like a lot of wasted energy, teens posting with long lists of activities that will have no impact on admissions whatsoever because the appropriate colleges for their stats do not require extensive ECs.
Same for high stat kids who know they will be headed for their state flagship for cost purposes. I know a kid in this position, in multiple time-consuming ECs, and i worry they are stretching themselves crazy thin for little benefit just because they think they need to.
