[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You and your son (and these responders) need to look at his app and the apps of his friends more holistically. All As with what rigor compared to his school? Leadership? ECs? Essay topic and content? Any hooks? What state are you applying from?  Does your kid’s profile match what these schools are looking for? [/quote]

He is a good student with two varsity sports. That's it. Honestly this thread is making me feel very shitty. Does everyone's child have very high SAT scores and a million ECs? [/quote]

No, my kid is struggling with ECs too. Regarding, SAT’s - a high GPA usually corresponds to a high SAT score. If your son really has a 4.0, then colleges would expect to see a stronger SAT. It does mean something is amiss. If there was a challenge, you can explain it in the application to provide more context.

It’s all about choosing the right colleges to apply to. There are so many good ones that aren’t impossible to get into! Definitely take advance of TO.  [/quote]
