meh...i wouldnt worry about it too much. the only job id ever had when i did my applications was working at a summer camp and i got into plenty of really good schools.

Colleges look mostly at ur SAT, GPA, and what school-affiliated extra cirricular activities you participate in. Job experience would probably be looked at a distraction from studies but a symbol of independance. I wouldnt worry about it, just study hard, that'll account for the majority of your college applications!

don't even worry for a sec... it really doesn't matter. grades + essays = #1 worry

grades and test scores are most important. some schools value different things. generally they look at extracirriculars and things that show good time management when you are borderline. some schools require that you do things outside of academics, but it doesnt have to be a job. i'd be more worried if you graduate college never having had an internship.

not at all, i didnt have a job till i was almost 19...and i got into every school i applied to

Don't put too much thought into that....

maybe if youre applying for grad school that would matter but undergrad shouldnt matter. i dont even think i was asked about that when i went through all the applications.
