[quote=Anonymous]Stanford has early decision. Tell him to apply using that approach especially given that most elite schools are a shade less stringent in terms of credentials for ED versus regular admission. My son applied early at Stanford and was not accepted even though his academic record was better than that of your son - this was about nine years ago and I think things are even more selective today. But he went on to complete his MD and he is now doing his residency at Stanford. So you can tell your son that even if he does not get in for his undergrad he might still be able to go to Stanford for grad school. His high school counselor may be able to lower his expectations in a way that might be more palatable than if you tried to do so.[/quote]
