<p>2160’s good, but it’s definitely not great if there’s a lot of room for improvement.
He’d need some great sense of motivation, not just getting into college really, but finding something he’d like to do.
ie- intern for a newspaper (idk muckraking?), lobbying group like civil rights or something (there’s a lot down south!), medical charity, lab work, etc.
Internships aren’t hard to get because a lot of people are desperate for free help nowadays, and when he finds what he likes to do he’ll be great at it. But if he’s like 17 right now and he doesn’t find an interest that overwhelms him soon, who knows if he’ll ever really be that motivated to succeed later?</p>
