[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like most of the posters had/have high performing kids and you are targeting top schools.  Anyone with an average kid (who may end with a 3.8+/3.3+ (weighted/unweighted) GPA but challenging coursework, 1450-1500 SAT and ECs unrelated to academics (think Art, Theatre)?  Kid does not know what they want to do and is open to suggestion.

So we'll need help with:
- Identifying schools that accepts kids in his academic range and can blend his interests (CS, Art and Theater) 
- that provide support for focus-challenged kids
- Essay strategy to combine his interests
- EC optimization
- We likely won't need essay review help.

If anyone had kids like mine and successfully used a counselor I'd love to hear about them.  [/quote]

The answer is going to be a combo of your instate public (wide range of majors, disability support) and less competitive LACS with theatre like Ithaca or Muhlenberg. Its not that hard to get kids into the less selective schools—you don’t have to optimize everything.[/quote]
