<p>Quick question, how important is having a job during junior/senior year to the admissions process. I've heard that having a job while maintaining straight A's shows that you can handle the rigors or whatever. Is this true?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>very true....it shows real responsibility. Even just having a job, while maintaining decent grades (A's and B's) is good.</p>
<p>How important? Well it's not really necessary, but if you are able to hold down a job and perform well in school then colleges will definitely appreciate your ability to multitask, trust me on that, so if you do follow through this will definitely be helpful as an applicant.</p>
<p>How would they prove it? I have a job but i never went to get my work permit renewed so i've been working with out one since may. I plan on getting it now, but do you think those summer and some fall months won't count when colleges review me?</p>
<p>oh wow, i never new how important it was...</p>
<p>oh quick question, what counts as a "job"
because I was thinking of teaching violin/viola to kids because my college application is gunna be focused on music EC's anyways, but would a more conventional job look better?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>bumpie... im kinda curious about this matter :)</p>
<p>A job is a job. Doesn't really matter what it is. Teaching may look even more impressive if you basically start your own teaching "business" and have to deal with that side of it too. Takes more initiative than scooping ice cream.</p>
<p>should i list a job where i was paid under the table..cash?</p>
