[quote=Anonymous]Focus on boosting his ECs. Is there something he can volunteer for individually? Like a buddy program for younger students in the district? Something that will show he’s a good kid AND give him a little more social experience.

Also consider adding an EC or two that supports the interest in Latin. Does not need to be in his school. Maybe better if it’s not. Ask ChatGpt for ideas or start a new thread.

Know that one of the common supplemental questions has to do with community - describe a community you’re a part of that is meaningful for you + how that experience will guide you as a student at our school or what communities or groups might you join when you’re here. Bonus if you can weave in a connection to your academic interests.

Working backwards, find a group or community that is a good fit for him now. Something low key with kids or adults he might be comfortable with. (Sometimes nerdy/awkward high school boys are actually more comfortable socially with older adults. Especially if there’s a shared interest.)

And again, this is all good for his personal development, not just his college app. [/quote]
