So one of the most popular questions is, "Is it better to be well-rounded or really good in one thing?" Well a lot of times we can't control what our kids are good at. My general advice is, if your child likes a lot things, he should pursue those things, see what really interests him. A 16 or 17 year old shouldn't have to know exactly what he or she is going to do, in fact, most don't and that's okay. So as a personal example, when I was a senior, I was vastly littering into sports, I was senior class president, I started a mock trial team. I wanted to try different things and that's totally fine in an application. But if you've got a student who has a demonstrated interest or talent in one area - For example, I had a student who is really an exceptional musician, and about junior year he had to make a choice, "Do I have go all in in the music and really try go after the conservatory or do I try to round up my application? He chose to go after the music because that's what he wanted to do. So it's really about what a student's interests are, don't worry so much about how a college looks at you; simply, if you have an interest, go after it and do more of it. If you have an interest and you try something and you don't like it, okay, move another direction. Whether you're really good in one thing or you love a bunch of activities, do what your passion is and everything will work out.
