@HappyFace2018 I really don’t understand why you are being so defensive. Congratulations to your daughter. Her resume is pretty much what elite colleges have been looking for over the past several years. My point is that these elite colleges are now saying they are tired of cookie-cutter applicants and are looking for something different, and THEY are saying that they are paying more attention to kids who hold down jobs in high school. If these elite schools are changing the way they choose their freshmen classes, then the status quo isn’t going to work in a year or two, let alone in the 3 or 4 years that would affect the OP’s child.
