Good ECs but not quite T20-level ACT Scores; accepted to great schools already but wants to shoot for the stars [TX resident, 4.0 GPA, top 2% rank, 32 (33 superscore) ACT]

He is a rural kid from a low-performing school and his scores and the rest make him a star in his setting. All of that together is a hook. With the SC ruling, colleges are looking at much broader definitions of diversity, and rural plus lower socioeconomic high school is a pull. I think he will get in to one of those reaches! If not , he is still set on a great path with what he already has. Best of luck to him!
