<p>I forgot to mention…</p>
<p>Over the Summer Activities include: Mock Trial Camp: 4 years, Job: 4 years.</p>
<p>I didn’t even look at your extracurriculars, because I just have to say this: do what you want to do, don’t do extracurriculars just because it looks good on the application. In the long run, trying to micro manage your activities is just going to get confusing, so it’s a lot easier to just follow your passions.</p>
<p>Did she make up her freshman and sophomore failing grades?</p>
<p>There’s a great upward trend in grades and I assume being Ethiopian would help.
It won’t matter what type of extracurricular she pursues, but it matters how she shows them on her admissions essay.</p>
<p>Why are you asking this question?</p>
<p>just curious?</p>
<p>jmanco: Because I was involved in all of the Activities, I’m just not sure if I want to put them all on my college applications. I don’t want to have too many extra curriculars …So I’m just trying to figure out how many of them I actually want to put on there.</p>
<p>But no ones picked which one yet …And it’s really making me frustrated. Also, no one has told me what my chances of being accepted are. =(</p>
<p>The set with the job looks most impressive because I think it has a little bit of everything that colleges value. Leadership, sports/arts, job, volunteering.</p>
<p>none of them seem to be connected by any sort of passion.</p>
<p>choose a random one</p>
<p>jmanco, you really seem to be going out of your way to be negative lately.</p>
<p>I’m not trying to be, honestly.</p>
<p>none of those sets of ec’s are bad; mine aren’t much better anyways.</p>
<p>It’s just that none of them seem to be linked by any sort of passion that would give you an edge in admissions.</p>
<p>Those ec’s are good enough to get into a fine school; i wasn’t trying to put you down.</p>
