@sonatarhia I’m not completely sure, but I think people apply to ABC in 7th grade. Not completely sure though, you might want to check the website.
For advice, ABC accepts most kids that have good grades and look like they made a decent effort on the app. I’m sure it’s more competitive on the east coast, but the cohort I’m in isn’t super challenging to gain admission to (west coast, CA area). I’d make sure that your son has all A’s throughout 7th grade. That’s pretty much the only thing you have to do before applying, though. He’ll also need a teacher rec, so make sure he builds good relationships with his teachers.
There is a diagnostic SSAT that your son’ll have to take, but I don’t think that’s a huge deciding factor. They tell you that you don’t have to prep for it, as it is a diagnostic, but if your son wants to, I’d say go right ahead!
When it comes to applying for ABC, I actually applied right before the due date. As long as you get it in on time and follow all the instructions, it should be fine.
Don’t worry too much about it. I’m sure your son is competent and will make it in.
As ABC always says: Trust the process!
