| I'd be surprised if he improved that SAT score much; a 1400/2040 is really good and tough to improve. His ECs are actually pretty good; I wouldn't call them a weak point. To be honest he doesn't have much of a weak point on paper. I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised with the number of schools he's going to have a good shot at getting in to.
One thing you might consider is having him to go to a school that does "Themed Housing" and staying in one of those, since they tend to form smaller communities within the larger university. There are more than just "substance free" housing, you'll have to check with each college he's interested in to see what's available. Just something to consider. |
