Debate kid
a lot of in-school involvement
weak outside school ECs, summer stuff (hoping for a better summer after junior year)
not super compelling story, but a good writer
very best LOR from known-to-top-colleges teacher
not an athlete

Open to small to medium sized schools, willing to do ED, full pay

In no particular order:

Wake Forest
Rhodes College
Tulane
Reed College
Trinity College[/quote]

Wake only if they ED or get some leadership positions.[/quote]

Not at all true from our mcps public high school. OP’s kid would be a straightforward admit, as are kids with lesser ECs and no leadership. [/quote]

Interesting, Wake tends to value extracurriculars, particularly class or all school president, and gpa over test scores, having been test optional long before covid.  Can’t imagine why your school would be an exception but guess it’s possible.  RD acceptance rate is less than 10 percent.[/quote]
