[quote=Anonymous]Kids who are unlikely to "present" well in interviews, for whatever reason, shouldn't interview. So, he shouldn't interview. I don't know what to say about the rest of this. It sounds like you think he is a candidate for more selective schools, which suggests he must have decent grades, decent class rigor, and decent test scores. It seems weird that a kid would have put in the effort to accomplish those things but decide now to purposefully tank his application essays? If you don't think he's mature enough to realize that the purpose of college is to get an education, not to party, then you should be thinking about a gap year or some time in CC before moving on to a 4-year college. You can't make him care or want the same things you want. But you don't have to pay for what he wants.[/quote]
