[quote=Anonymous]Agree on the parenting point. This kid needs to be pushed out of the house for to get a part time job. Make it a requirement he reads a bunch of books (can join a book club or volunteer at library), and join small clubs at HS that are underenrolled. None of these are necessarily "impressive" and can be described well and leaned upon for essays. Someone needs to tell the kid: Find a problem you identify with in your community. Work on something - anything - to solve it. and Get a hobby. Anything. If the hobby is golf, volunteer to teach golf at local courses/parks or with a national org (google showed lots of search results for that). Sign up to be an instructor (get a job at mini-golf). If there's no motivation, apply to something like CU-Boulder, Miami-Ohio, UNC, Case (show some real interest) and see what happens.[/quote]
