History/Poly Sci/Econ. No college level courses other than AP.

They're all a match, so we don't know. Agree with PP that you might want to add a safety he loves.

He has some ideas. But don't need predictions on those.

You need something special /extra for Duke

OP here and more ideas on true safeties would be helpful, too.

Seems unlikely to me for Duke and Vanderbilt without a “point of excellence”.

Boys state ? Senate page?

Start working on the Michigan essays in June/July…

This is a very very generic profile. ECs are absolutely not at the level of T20s. This kid’s top ECs look like what competitive applicants for the T20 put at 9-10 in their list. I would ED UVA. Duke, Vanderbilt, Michigan, and UNC will not happen.
