Oh one other thing… If EC’s are super tough to secure then think about a job. Perhaps your S could work after school. Colleges love that!!

Remember this: All the kids applying to HYPS are great students. They all have fantastic GPA’s, rank in the top 1-2% of their graduating class, have superb SAT’s/ACT’s, are National merit scholars, intel winners, and have taken the maximum amount of AP’s at their schools. So how does a college chose? They chose because out of all these fantastic applicants some will look “different”. Some will have everything mentioned above plus something else that will separate them from the pack and those are the kids who get accepted. How do you separate yourself from the pack? EC’s!!! or Job experience!!!
