<p>Wow, I could have written this myself with my son, who is a senior. Same statistics and interests, it is eerie. Math SAT’s 780, combined 2040. No sports, but yes, Martial Arts and he just received Eagle Scout. </p>
<p>He is ADD / Borderline Aspergers. Very much into computers and gaming.<br>
He applied to WPI, Stevens, RPI, RIT, Northeastern, Drexel and Wentworth (as well as URI and UMASS). He got accepted everywhere, except WPI and Northeastern. (Sad, as WPI was his first choice).</p>
<p>AP Classes were a nightmare. He FAILED AP History - couldn’t keep up with the work load. But>>> got a 4 on the exam, go figure. So, he will get the college credits, but had to repeat the class in his Senior Year in HS. </p>
<p>He will be attending RPI in the fall, majoring in Game Simulation Arts and Science… with a computer science discipline. We choise that school based on the program and yes, money. Yes, I am very nervous about the course load and the competitive nature of the students. He is not competitive at all, and tends to fall behind in most class assignments. BUT the good thing about RPI, is there is an academic counseling department - they will have his IEP from high school and will assign councilors and peer councilors immediately.<br>
Becker and Champlain are great programs, but are more designed base. He knew he wanted Computer Science based and can always have the option about either double majoring or transferring his major to Comp Sci if that is more appropriate. </p>
<p>good Luck!</p>
