[quote=Anonymous]Can you afford OOS full pay at a public outside of MD?  If so, grades and scores are probably all he needs (fewer resources for admissions + more applicants = a more mechanical process).  Look at Madison, University of Washington.  Both are strong across the board and both have decent rates of admissions.  Consider others based on interests, preferences re locale, finances.  Midwestern LACs would be another possibility.

Re HS — encourage him to do what he enjoys and to take APs selectively (in areas of strength and interest vs whenever possible).  Try to keep him from adopting the las much as possible, as hard as possible, as early as possiblel mentality that is so prevalent in local HSs.  It’s (a) only relevant for kids aiming for single digit admissions schools and (b) counterproductive if/when they get there.  Much better to focus on doing what you do well, figuring out what you enjoy, learning how to pursue/develop an interest beyond/outside the classroom.
