I feel like your son’s lack of extracurriculars will keep him out of harvard. But I would say he has a very good shot at Cornell and NYU based on his impressive test scores and GPA alone. And I would take Nothstarmom’s thread with a grain of salt. it seems like she was just irritated more at the constant “chance me” people, so decided to generalize about those types of people. and @hohoman I think his son would be more like a 4 or 5 in the extracurricular category, though I agree with the 1 in academics. @susanpalmerlake, did your son apply to MIT? I think your son is the type of applicant MIT wants. good luck to him!
