[quote=Anonymous]Hi, my two cents.

1) First of all, without knowing specifics about him, it's hard to provide specific suggestions. He is clearly late for EA/ED deadlines (some schools have Oct 15 due date, some Nov 15, but mostly Nov 1). He can try for test optional schools (you can easily Google to see the list of test optional schools) then he just needs to complete the app/essay and request transcript from school.

2) If he wants to try for Regular decision schools or schools with rolling admissions (yes, there are still rolling admin schools) that require SAT/ACT, then he has time but not much. Oct SAT is tomorrow, there is Nov 8 SAT he can try or ACT. If helps to find out whether he is more of SAT type kid or ACT type kid so he can better focus time he has.

3) The most important aspect, IMHO, is for him to identify his "target/safety" schools and then, as schedule permits, identify "reach" schools.

4) how about $ - will he need FA or will he be a full pay? He needs to run Net Price Calculator (each schools' NPC is slightly different but it gives you a pretty darn good estimate on how much it will cost). If his parents plan to file for financial aid, then they may want to get the papers together.

sorry for typos. in hurry. hope this is helpful. [/quote]
