This is a very very generic profile. ECs are absolutely not at the level of T20s. This kid’s top ECs look like what competitive applicants for the T20 put at 9-10 in their list. I would ED UVA. Duke, Vanderbilt, Michigan, and UNC will not happen.

Seems unlikely to me for Duke and Vanderbilt without a “point of excellence”.
Boys state ? Senate page?
Start working on the Michigan essays in June/July…

They're all a match, so we don't know. Agree with PP that you might want to add a safety he loves.
