[quote=Anonymous]This is what I'd recommend but YMMV: Have at least some activities, even if it's just one off volunteer events or participation in a club. There are ten spots in the common app that need to be filled for activities. Better if your kid can fill them and if they tell a story. Like if your kid is interested in majoring in biology, volunteer activities for the environment, attend a few environment club meetings, write about their interest/activity re the environment in their common app essay. Test prep will be needed if your kid hopes to get merit and the school requires test scores. If your kid has those high grades and rigor, then the low test score is probably due to some procedural issue like slow processing? I'd have that checked out and addressed and that might cause test score to go way up. [/quote]
