<p>Thanks. That made for very interesting reading. </p>
<p>Thankfully, my daughter is quite level headed and it won’t crush her if she doesn’t get in to any of the Ivy league schools. In fact she has refused to do any extra curricular activities just to make her resume look good - if she is not interested then she won’t do it - end of! </p>
<p>Are the following considered extra-curricular activities?</p>
<p>Participating in state-level French Poetry and Writing competitions - conducted by Alliance Francasie (Top prize - 3 consecutive years)
Participating in a 6 week French exchange program to Paris. Attending school in Paris and living with a French family.
State-level Maths competitions
State-level English writing competitions (Top prize - 3 consecutive years)
Work experience in a law firm (just 1 week though, but excellent letter of recommendation from the partner at the firm)</p>
