<p>SteveMa,
As an example, Dd did swimming, fencing, cheer, and also did film, theater, dance, creative writing (along with a ton of other ECs). 10 ECs go onto the app. So they were film, theater, dance, Cw, cheer, and others that she wanted to highlight. Sports didn’t make it on the app. Though the sports took lots of time, putting it the app muddies the theme of a visual and performing arts kid. She got accepted SCEA at a HYPS. </p>
<p>Stevema, You are correct, however, if the student does not have more than 10 ECs. I guess I had really thought about it in that way before.</p>
<p>However, only your son really knows what he values and what his passions are. And indeed, friendships and comraderie are extremely important. There’s no creative way to find a free arts class? Or take an overload of art and sport at school?</p>
