BTW IM Gonna Get PRBBLY IN HEALTH CARE, how can you volunteer at the hospital through your school, help???

Hello, I'm UCLA alum and my child attends a top Ivy and I am very familiar with this.

For the record, it should absolutely not be in a sport if it is not your thing. My daughter does not participate in sports, and does not play an instrument. Select a few activities that interest you, and to those ... as much as you can without compromising your notes, but does not allow activities to be your top priority, because grades matter more. If you can have a leadership role in an activity, a large.

Volunteer work is highly respected and many hospitals have volunteer programs teen if you are interested in this field. Some have specific programs and summer - but you can do throughout the year (Saturday morning, for example). Otherwise, look at the volunteering options to other nonprofit organizations in your area, and, if possible (if not essential), choose something related to what you want to go to university. Your parents must remember that your activities are important both to enter into a good college, so they can consider a babysitter emergency, if your meetings in conflict with the work schedule of your mother. Your success is a team effort.

The conventional wisdom several years ago that colleges wanted children who were "well balanced" - ie tons of activities of all kinds. Many counselors hs grew up hearing that and think it still applies, but this is simply not true more. Admissions officers know that people are different, with varying strengths and interests. Be who you are - do what is important to you, stay focused on your academics, and you'll be a very serious candidate.

You do not have to be a genius to get good grades - just be sure to focus on your studies, what matters additional credit if offered, and academics make your priority. Yes, colleges consider all four years of HS, but keep in mind that your junior and senior year grades are better predictors of your ability to succeed in college ... do not stress if you are not entitled In al.
