[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like he's going to struggle to craft a compelling narrative in his essay(s). Once kids meet a certain academic threshold, the ECs and essays are what distinguish them and result in the most acceptances. Strong academic focus is okay, but then usually awards back up being "special" in that way. So that's an issue. Can he join clubs this year that speak to his specific interests, and ideally take on a leadership position? I would focus on colleges that admit based more on stats that ECs. That's primarily the large state schools, as well as LACs outside of WASP. McGill. It will also help if he's not intending to major in a saturated area. More info on that will help with targeted recs.[/quote] Unlikely for lacs ranked within t20. They are test optional, ECs are very important. [/quote]
