What extracurricular activities are more important to get the kids into top colleges?

<p>“. They have to own it. I think that 14 is way too young to have tried everything worthwhile even if later on some 25-year old college admissions officer thinks that they’re too well rounded or “we have enough violinists”. Experimenting is worth the risk.”</p>

<p>I also hope they will keep trying new things for the rest of their lives. I’m still trying new things as I approach 60. Life would be very dull if I weren’t doing this.</p>
