“They had the luxury of not having to work at minimum wage jobs during the school year. Their “work” was doing the very best they could in their classes. They had time to do the ECs and volunteer work that they enjoyed and that look good to admission and scholarship committees.”

Interesting how some middle income people’s kids have these “luxuries”. I guess we’re upper middle class - full pay at school. My kids had time to do ECs and volunteer work that they enjoyed and looked good also. However, they worked from the time they were 16 during the school year, summers and in college.
