<p>Does he have a good chance of getting in? He plans on retaking SAT I (2220 first time: 800 Writing, 790 Reading, 630 Math), SAT III in Math II, Chemistry, and U.S. History, and the ACT. He is VP of the Debate Club. </p>

2

<p>Still has yet to take SAT II (that’s what I meant) and ACT.</p>

3

<p>What are his SAT 2 scores (SAT III isn’t a thing as far as I am aware, correct me if I’m wrong).</p>

4

<p>He’ll be taking SAT II in June.</p>

5

<p>SAT III is a typo.</p>

6

<p>Quite a bit of typos and you say that this is your student not your son or daughter… That aside, he has a good chance but he needs to have more extra-curricular activities and leadership positions. On the academic side, he seems to be fine. Is he/she getting good grades? What is his/her GPA? Good luck. </p>
