[quote=Anonymous]My DD was not dissimilar although slightly lower scores (33 ACT, SATs not her thing). She had good extracurrics - team captain of 2 sports teams, good internships, legitimate interest in community service. She also interviewed very well - lots of confidence and enthusiasm. So she did better in acceptances at schools that did interviews than those that didn't. She was realistic about her college options. The college counselors at a big 3 will surely be helping you select approriate colleges. If he's an average kid he won't be bored at the top 50 colleges. Presumably at this point you've already visited a ton of colleges so he must have some sense of what he's interested in. At this point there isn't much you can do except help guide him through the process, figure out what his passions and strengths are so he can talk about that in essays and interviews, help with interviewing skills if needed (we didn't for number 1, will need to for number 2).[/quote]
