[quote=Anonymous]Graduation rates at those colleges ~ compare them. That is the difference. To ease your mind, I don't think anything you do re: EC's will affect his chances. He's old enough that if he's going to distinguish himself through his EC's that has to come from him -self motivation, a passion. I guess you could point out opportunities that look interesting. You should make sure he keeps up his grades, and I would definitely -when the time comes- provide a high quality SAT prep class to maximize his chances. Even if he is 'satisfied' with his initial scores, in this day and age, it's pretty standard to prep. I wouldn't take a relaxed position on this issue. I wouldn't send him off to Salisbury and certainly not Frostburg without knowing, for sure, that you do not have other options for your money. St. Mary's being so small may have somewhat quirky admissions so can't assume it's a sure thing even with the stats. Make sure he can check-off-the boxes of all he needs to get into UMaryland just in case.[/quote]
