[quote=Anonymous]just for perspective, I have a unhooked full-on humanities kid at HYP and they got straight As  on all their STEM high school classes in a rigorous private. Self studied for AP tests and got all 5s, ncluding calc, physics, and chem.

this is just the nature of the competition. and MIT recruits athletes just like the other schools (my nephew is one) and so remember there are hooked students everywhere.

honestly, I found my other kid with a resume more like your kids easier to work with in college admissions. if the kid has an interest, lean into that. Find a school with core classes and limited required classes  - obviously. They dont want to take more classes they're not interested in. find a school that's strong in what they want to study. then shorten the list by size or location , etc

Places like Colorado School of Mines, McGill, Waterloo, RPI, RIT, VT ..I didnt' read enough of the replies to find out what he wants to study but just lean into that. if interested in start up culture, get to that area as soon as possible. Look at Santa Clara etc.

Work with strengths.
