Oh, no doubt people are interested. But essentially OP is asking what can make her kid stand out. If there is no gatekeeping, there is no standing out.

I am the OP. I am happy to share - see below. That's the point of this place! I'll add on as I find others.

To respond to some other questions, DC's sibling is at T10. Unsure, but likely applying there early. From an underrepresented state or a geographically desirable state. Private selective HS (ranked 1 in state).

I think you should clarify for others that your kids are heavily hooked (geographic diversity + private selective school) which means your older child's admission to a T10 should be taken with a grain of salt to others. (Great for your older kid, but your family's experience will not be like that of unhooked applicants).

Environmental Engineering has a much better career trajectory and more employable. Yes, it's more challenging, but well worth it. Go to the Top schools for Environmental Engineering.

I think she did disclose that. I picked that up.
Thank you for refereeing here.
Your trolling is too much these days. Are you out of work? Lonely?

Correct. An Environmental Engineer can do everything an Environmental Scientist can do and much more. A Environmental Scientist can not do everything an Environmental Engineer can do. Also, Top Environmental Engineering schools offer way more in terms of Environmental Research. One of the, if not the top school for this is Georgia Institute of Technology.

My DD is at a top 15 school as an environmental studies major. She had a 4.0 but much worse SATs compared to your son and no debate but she did start an environmental club at her school ( MCPS) and did two internships in hs related to the environment, both offered by Montgomery county. All her essays were related to her interest in the environment. She got in everywhere she applied, all state schools, except UVA.

Hutton is really good. It's the only one on the list worth attending.

If your sibling is at T10, then you are experienced in how to get there. Please do share more.

Not disclosed in the original post so many will not see it.

Nor is the OP's other child mentioned in the original post, so your comment here is irrelevant.

Guys. Who cares. You are ruining the site with your constant trolling.

My DD was selected to be on our youth sustainability council, it’s comprised of students from all the local city high schools and they do a variety of projects. Maybe see if there is something comparable, and if not, perhaps start one? Could even be run through the local library or local gov if not through the schools.
