A family friend has his heart set on SFS, although he probably will not be applying early. I have extrapolated from his current profile to give you what he will likely have when he applies. What do you think his chances are???

Gender: Male
Race: White
Location: rural Wisconsin
GPA: 3.9+ (UW), Top 5%
ACT: 34
Curriculum: no APs (school does not offer any), but probably the most difficult offered.
ECs: -7 varsity letters in football, basketball, and track + 1 All-Conference + 2 trips to State.
-Captain of Academic Decathalon and Mock Trial teams.
-Student Council class something-or-other.
-consistent church and volunteering involvement.
-part-time schoolyear/full-time summer job, but nothing out of the ordinary for a high school-aged student.
-political campaign volunteer, elected as delegate to state Democratic convention.
-semi-legacy (mother did grad program in SFS IIRC).
Essay: about learning a foreign language while living abroad during his youth + challenges of intellectual development in rural schools.
