Not if it's a mere exercise in box-ticking.
- ryandrake 2y agoHow do college admissions departments figure out who is box-ticking, to know whether the person they are looking at is a better student?
- fargle 2y agoof course they don't. but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do extra-curriculars to benefit yourself or your kids, just because other people are dishonest.
