[quote=Anonymous]OP, see if you can go into the common app for a rigorous school or even the UC app(not sure if you can go in as a 10th grader), but maybe show your kid the type of questions asked--there is space to include 20 activities, honors, leadership, awards, etc. Not trying to overwhelm, but he's going to need to be able to write about more than golf. Even if it's an easy summer job or volunteering to help lead a younger grade at school or something. There are schools that will value GPA/Scores more highly than others (think big state schools that don't have time to do a deep dive into apps), but even they want to see something.[/quote]
