In this episode, I compare two different approaches to extracurricular activities:

Strategy 1: Attempt to win a prestigious, well-established competition like the Google Science Fair.

Strategy 2: Create your own project that garners equal recognition and notoriety.

What are the pros and cons of each:

1. risks?
2. rewards?
3. effort?
4. payoff?

With so many elements of today's college applications blending together, ECAs are one of the few places to differentiate yourself from the masses.

Which strategy will your child take (if either)?
