[quote=Anonymous]Where does he get the idea that he is better than a school like UMD? Your friend is right, these days a kid like him is lucky to get in there. You need to reset his expectations. Fine to strive for MIT or an ivy but like others have said, even kids with perfect applications are not getting in those places. He needs to find activities he enjoys not try to just build up his college application. Just as an example, my kid had 36 ACT 4.0 from a top public magnet, 13 APs, decent ECs, varsity athlete and is a proud student at UMD with many kids like them. [/quote]
