<p>S is waiting to hear from Harvard, Cornell, and Princeton (his top choice). He’s already admitted to UMich, Notre Dame, and WashU. He has a 4.0 at an east coast boarding school where he’s a prefect, is a national merit scholar (800M/740CR), was a Nat’l AP scholar after 11th grade, is varsity in 3 sports (captain of 2, xcountry & tennis), and is doing independent studies in math and science. He also had a cool summer job last year doing statistical analysis for a nonprofit that may get into a published paper. Chances?</p>
<p>Absolutely no shot</p>
<p>No chance? Really? Why?</p>
<p>I’m kidding. It’s obvious your kid has a great chance of getting into these Ivies, but other applicants just like him will also be trying to get in. The only way to find out is to apply.</p>
