[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he is at a private school, you need to lean on their guidance. What are they suggesting for an ED? Have you seen the scattergrams?

What subject is the outside research project in?

Northwestern likes kids with multiple interdisciplinary spikes. Make sure he shows a lot of demonstrated interest. There are a lot of ideas here for him for this summer.

- continue the pt job (can you tie into behavioral economics)
- add in an in school independent study into his transcript if his high school allows it for senior year and make the topic related to behavioral economics
- review his full activities list to ensure he’s had impact and leadership as well as showing a community orientation and long-term commitment

I second this. Consider adding something like this into this summer to accentuate his econ spike:

Agree. I wouldn’t list Econ unless kid actually has some relevant knowledge/tie-in.[/quote]

What does the kid have for cognitive science though?
