<p>Grove City is a good recommendation but offers little aid. The schools listed by Juillet in post #5 are most likely for good merit aid.</p>
<p>Thank you all. I’ve gotten some great information. Is there anybody else here that has gone thru the process that can give me more insight on her EC’s?</p>
<p>Her EC’s are fine! I wouldn’t pressure her to do any more than she is already doing. She has lots of commitment and depth, which is more important than the number of activities.</p>
<p>I think her ECs are fine for anywhere but for the schools she is shooting for, more than fine.</p>
<p>You might want to pose your question on this page on CC as well. Up to you. [Christian</a> Colleges - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/christian-colleges/]Christian”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/christian-colleges/)</p>
<p>The conservative [CollegeGuide.org</a> - Home](<a href=“http://www.collegeguide.org%5DCollegeGuide.org”>http://www.collegeguide.org) may be of interest. But note that many highly religious schools are well rated there; someone with strong religious beliefs of a different religion or denomination (or a conservative student who is not very religious) may not fit well at a highly religious school.</p>
<p>I agree with the others, that your D’s extracurriculars are just fine. As others have said, schools look for depth of involvement and leadership not the quantity of activities. My S had a three main activities that he was fully/deeply involved with and it did not hurt his college application in the least.</p>
<p>And, don’t downplay what she has been involved with – she is PRESIDENT of a fellows program EDITOR or a blog, and is a committed Sunday school teacher (also a leadership position IMO, particularly if she is involved in designing the curriculum for the class, pre-class preparation work etc.). In addition she has won prizes for writing and is in honor societies. If she tutors or gets involved in a campaign it is a plus of course, but I don’t think it is critical. If she interviews and can speak about her activities with clarity and passion she should be in great shape.</p>
<p>In addition, I would have your D emphasize that she had to work to find an outlet for her interests/activities/desire to take on leadership positions because all of her involvement has been achieved without the structure and opportunities presented in a typical school setting (ex. she couldn’t just sign up to write for the school paper, she had to start or seek out an appropriate blog to have an outlet to write) – this shows a great deal of perseverance/motivation/dedication. </p>
<p>You should be very proud of her accomplishments both academically and in terms of extracurricular activities. She should have many wonderful choices for college.</p>
