I initially had sympathy for you OP, but now I am just blown away by your lack of connection to reality (and I have a student at H/S/Y).  Please do not ever mention your concerns to a parent going through the process with you as it will only serve to unnerve and depress them.  Of course your child will be admitted to at least one top-10 school with those stats, and certainly to two or more top 15 colleges with those statistics.  Stop your worrying you will only make everyone around you very anxious.[/quote]

OP being overly dramatic. And not all kids who get into the tippy top schools are the conniving, loaded climbers you make them out to be.
I have a HSorY kid as well, and he did not start a charity, dig holes in any third world country, win any national competitions, or patent any new invention. He worked hard in school, figured out his own (local and mostly paying) summer opportunities, and built solid relationships with mentors. Yes, he's a naturally good test-taker and well-rounded in leadership, academics, and athletics. No, he's not a URM.[/quote]
