@admittedlyco: Notice the pattern? 2-3/10 if you’re simply participating. 7-9/10 when you’re actually doing something with the opportunity. The name of the activity RARELY makes it impressive, high schoolers. What matters is how YOU contribute, how far YOU take it, and what changes because YOU were involved. That’s the standard I’d use when deciding where to spend your time. What do you think? #CollegeAdmissions #Extracurriculars #IvyLeagueAdmissions #CollegePrep #HighSchoolAdvice
As a mom of a senior, I hate this. What do you want from these kids?!

My son is a rower. He trains every day straight from school and doesn’t get home until 8. 4 hours each weekend day. When the f is he supposed to do anything else?

So it’s not all about what activities you do but your impact in those activities.

No wonder we are so starved for leadership in our country; grads from the most prestigious places are ruled by these depraved guidelines.

Hi :
Really sad all they care about is impact bc most students are not making any kind of impact.

I don’t love these rankings. I feel like there’s so much nuance to this. It’s about being a well rounded student who gets involved.

So nothing is good enough unless you’re “ground breaking”. This is why IVY league is a scam to grab your money. Go to a local college, if you want Ivy League for some reason, wait for your masters.

I always want to know how the National FFA Organization stacks up against some of these. Small schools especially rural ones don’t always have access to organizations like Model UN or Speech and Debate.

What if you stack like five of those three out of tens do they add up more?

My son backs (used to be called breaking) and trains horses for a local rescue so they can be rehomed and sold to support the rescue. How does he write that? It’s unique, but is it a plus?
