[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kinds of activities does he LIKE to do? Whatever those are, think about how he can build on them. Can he use them to get a part-time job (teaching young kids how to do Minecraft, or whatever)? Can he use them to volunteer (playing chess with the residents at your nearby senior center)? Can he use them to develop a more public persona (building a youtube channel focused on growing better tomatoes)? Can he enter competitions? Etc. [/quote]

He loves Maths and participates in competition math such as AMC 10 and AIME. Does it help? Other than that not much. Should he enroll in any specific activities in high school that can give him edge ? Thanks.[/quote]

OP, strongly suggest you pivot to College Confidential with your concerns and questions. There are many more parents there with these concerns - a critical mass of sorts.

FWIW, it may be helpful to have some conversations with your son on what you understand about college admissions and factors he should probably consider. But you cannot necessarily create passion if it is not there. Ideally he will find a school that works for him and your family's budget. GL![/quote]
