@JBStillFlying thank you. Just musing a bit on my end.

I think his EC with the community were fairly good. He had an award from a mayor for all of the contributions to the homeless in the area and teaching after school STEM at several schools in lower income districts. We also had an LOR from one the principals about the impact to the students.
If anything it may be the essay.
Just to double check…your S does have 2 teacher recommendations as well as one from the GC, correct? The principal’s LoR would be considered a supplemental rec (at least at UChicago)…meaning it can’t be substituted for a teacher rec.
Has someone experienced in college admissions essay writing proofread your son’s essays?
