[quote=Anonymous]OP, your kid sounds like mine who is currently a senior. We've told him that he needs to be realistic with his expectations, especially since there are many kids in his high school with the grades, test scores, rigor, AND interesting ECs involving time commitment. The one thing he has going for him is his summer activities...one summer he was accepted to a free, application based university summer program, and he found a job through his HS relevant to his intended major (engineering) another summer. He is also very strong academically, and his teachers likely wrote excellent recommendations. See if your kid can find a job, volunteer, or be accepted to an interesting summer program to boost their application. Being very engaged in the classroom might also help your kid get fantastic recommendation letters. We're hopeful that he'll get admission to a good state flagship but top privates are pretty unlikely.[/quote]
