<p>Thank you for your insight SdonCC - this is why I love this board folks come at you from all different directions. Fear not I am not a household name, neither me nor my son or tall enough or good enough to play ball for G-town - and I have seen several football games and you do not have to be able to play football to be on the team. Okay that was a cheap shot, I know the alumni love that team. Hmm I wonder if I can my son interested in Lacross or baseball I know there are scholarships for baseball. Truthfully the only sports Dude is interested in is only Takwondo and soccer - yep I had the DNA tested he’s mine.
Yes I do know Coach Thompson, really nice guy but that is neither here or there. So yes my son is in the top 10% of his class, yes he needs to take the SAT (Kaplan) again, maybe the ACT per KatMT suggestion, he takes IB classes and no he will not be getting an IB Diploma - doesn’t have the time. I do realize Ivies and folks like Georgetown have been recruiting and trying to retain qualified minority students for the past 20 years - though my direct knowledge of this is from pre-economic downfall. But yes my son is a very nice young man and people like him.</p>
<p>Peace</p>
