[quote=Anonymous]My son was similar -a cerebral type who enjoyed school but not sports or organized activities -I am guessing your son may be an introvert? A few ideas: - find a weekend job for your son - that is something he can write about in his essays - lifeguarding pays well right now; or be a math tutor; something that is a growth opportunity - is there an academic subject that he excels at where he could do research - e.g. research on a science topic; or research on a humanities topic - is there an academic subject he excels at where he could join an Olympiad team - e.g. math olympiad, chemistry or bio olympiad? (for MIT, they are going to want people competing on these teams, and/or also winning on these teams) good luck.[/quote]
