[quote=Anonymous]You seem entirely focused on where your child can get in. Spend some time figuring out what he wants in a college.

Visit some that are nearby, just to learn if he likes large or small. Rural or urban. What part of the US? You will want a school that is good for science.

I suggest you start by buying a book like this:

The Best 387 Colleges, 2022: In-Depth Profiles & Ranking Lists to Help Find the Right College For You (2022) (College Admissions Guides)

You can pre-order it on Amazon now. It will be coming out next week. That will help you all understand the many criteria that he can use to select (religious? Greek? LGBTQ-friendly? diverse ethnically? etc).

Plus, it will give you a starting place (or quality schools) for making a tentative list. Remember that he will need some that would be a dream (but very hard to get into), some that usually accept kids that sound like him, and some that seem like they would be very easy for him to get admitted to...known as safeties.

They will also have a list of schools that are recommended for pre-med students/science.

Try not to listen to what everyone else is doing. But do look to your school's counsellors to keep track of when different tasks should be accomplished.

Good luck![/quote]
