His step-father and aunt are alumni but his extracurricular school activities are non-existent…

He will probably be a National Merit Finalist - Maine Score 221. Min score has been 201 the last couple of years. He’s applying to hopefully get a national merit full tuition scholarship.

SAT Math 760/ Reading 760 / Writing 730 (1520/2250)
GPA 91 or 3.60
Tops 20% of his class 40 out of 200.

He has straight As junior year but only two honors math courses and one AP math course.

For extra curriculars he’s going to put some volunteer jobs but the top listings are going to be self-teaching himself Calculus, making up math equations and solving them, and writing two novels at 50,000 words each within 30 days in the NaNoWritMo online competition. And he wants to be a math teacher so he might put something about all the things he’s done to help teach his sister where she has to be homeschooled due to pretty significant ADHD issues.

What do you think?
