[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are his grades like? Unweighted GPA?
No EC leadership?
Favorite subjects?
Public or private HS?

[/quote]

UW 3.8, 8 IB classes
High level participation in sports with leadership experience 
Doesn’t seem to have a favorite subject, how he feels about a class seems to depend more on how well he connects to teacher and other students in the class.
Public school

Are you full pay?
Wake ED?
WashU has an interesting sports leadership program - and both are really test-optional.

Otherwise, yes to SLACs.[/quote]

Are his best grades in humanities or sciences? It would be helpful if he's aiming for competitive schools to help him frame his story just a bit (e.g., picking sociology as a major given sports etc might make sense, knowing its just a way to read his entire application).

If WashU, this is the minor: https://olin.washu.edu/programs/bs-business-administration/majors-minors/business-of-sports.php

Also, for anyone whose kid is applying to WashU, they are really into leadership development these days:

This 100%
Boys who don't know but have a lot of sports stuff end up doing well applying as a sociology major with a minor in leadership/sports management/sports something.
