[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. He's very much influenced by his peers who all seem certain they'll get into Ivies or Top 20s. At his private, they ALL seem to go far and wide with no one attending college nearby. I suspect he cares more about prestige of the school over the best engineering program for him (sigh). His school does not particpate in AP classes but it is known to be a rigorous school. I could have pushed him for better grades but he has extensive after school commitments, wouldn't get home until after 9pm and having a happy son was also important to me. He also hopes to play at college, so maybe a recruitment will break his way, but that also feels like a long shot to me. I just figured he'll goto a Top 50 if he's lucky and was not expecting this level of delusion from him. Maybe this is part of the process and once he's really in it this fall he'll realize he needs to cast a wider net. [/quote]

You have not answered if he takes hard classes. If he does then yes he can look at top schools. If he doesn’t then yes you may have an issue.[/quote]
