[quote=Anonymous]We've got a kid like this but he has a few more ECs and his PSAT10 was 1500. We focus on summer substance which means a pay to play program, a little work, a lot of sports. Looks like he's picking it up this year on his own (applying for some fellowships and getting a little more engaged in a few clubs but that remains to be seen). The thing is, this STILL doesn't guarantee much of anything. And we are a family where we are full pay on paper but full pay for $400K over 4 years isn't going to be a walk in the park. We are likely shooting for merit aid at a T50 and trying to balance encouraging him to engage while also not making him have to fake his way through 2.5 more years of misery. It's just not worth it. The goal is to push towards a fit, not push for the sake of pushing. [/quote]
