this makes me LOL. Every college knows him? I'm sure some do but all top colleges? so ugggg
good luck to your son, he will get in a great school
I wouldnt LOL at this. Our school has one of these people. Known to top means known to top 10. Not all top 100. It's one of the super specific benefits of some top tier private high schools. getting a letter from this person, at our school, is not easy. I think they write just a couple a year. our HOS also writes a couple that are basically a golden ticket.
I mean, LOL if you want to, but these people are playing on a different field than you or me.

At our private, a kid like this might get into Rice, WashU, Emory, Middlebury, or Bowdoin ED1.

Georgetown not a good suggestion as it isn’t any easier to get in REA than RD.

3.8, dragged down by 9th grade
1520 SAT - but just a junior so will take again.
Debate kid
a lot of in-school involvement
weak outside school ECs, summer stuff (hoping for a better summer after junior year)
not super compelling story, but a good writer
very best LOR from known-to-top-colleges teacher
not an athlete
Open to small to medium sized schools, willing to do ED, full pay
In no particular order:
Wake Forest
Rhodes College
Tulane
Reed College
Trinity College
Wake only if they ED or get some leadership positions.

ask the well known teacher who he/she has pull with.
our school has a teacher like that. he can get any kid into Bowdoin it seems. I mean, he only writes 2 letters a year so that 's part of it
