Posting for my son

Decision: Rejected

Objective:
•SAT I: did not submit
•ACT: 30
•SAT II: did not submit
•Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.83
•Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): top 10%
•AP (place score in parenthesis): did not submit (he is in the full IB diploma program)
•IB (place score in parenthesis): will take exams in May- estimated score around 40
•Senior Year Course Load: IB Math SL, IB Bio HL, IB Psych HL, IB English SL, IB Music HL, TOK
•Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): State recognition in Latin Forum

Subjective:
•Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Biggest EC is his position as Young Adult Representative of Patient Advocacy Committe of the North American Thrombosis Forum (NATF), a national nonprofit organization; Latin Club (VP Academics), Central Florida Deep Venous Thrombosis/Pulmonary Embolism Support Group (Founder and President)
•Job/Work Experience: Summer internship with NATF in Boston
•Volunteer/Community service: over 500 hours
•Summer Activities: Summer internship in Boston
•Essays: Made some of his teachers cry- described how, despite his own medical problems, he has helped his autistic brother with his therapies and what impact autism has had
•Teacher Recommendation: Excellent; his math teacher showed us the letter (although my son had waived his rights to see them) and wrote that he had never met any student with such passion in 25 years of teaching
•Counselor Rec: Excellent (likely)- she has known my son for 10 years
•Additional Rec: Letter of rec from a world-renowned Cardiologist at Harvard Medical School
•Interview: Laid back interview with alum. Doubt it was a factor.
Other
•State (if domestic applicant): FL
•Country (if international applicant):
•School Type: Private, IB Program (son is doing full IB diploma)
•Ethnicity: Asian, Indian
•Gender: Male
•Income Bracket: $500000
•Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): my son is only one of 4 seniors in the country with a rare medical condition (about 100 in the world). He has been so involved with patient care advocacy and is working with two hospital to educate physicians about the dangers of blood clots.
Reflection
•Strengths: His “story”; IB diploma
•Weaknesses: ACT score
•Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: His ACT score was his weakest part; I realize that I am biased, but my son impresses nearly everyone with his poise and composure despite his health issues, which nearly killed him twice. He is able to portray how he has overcome adversity and how he will continue patient care advocacy in the future. I really believe that this was the distinguishing factor. His ACT score certainly did not separate him from the crowd. He really thought that the ADCOM would look at his overall candidacy, but he is not bitter.
•Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: accepted to University of Michigan, Boston College, UNC Chapel Hill, University of Florida, WUSTL, Emory. Wait listed at UVA. Rejected at Duke and Rice. Awaiting decisions from Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, Brown, Penn, Yale, and Harvard
General Comments: A bit surprised he didn’t get in when his classmate, who is valedictorian with an ACT score of 34 but with almost no activities to speak of outside the classroom got in. Oh well, as many of know, it’s a random process. Good luck to all of you. My son is OK and knows that Northwestern’s loss will be some other school’s big gain.

[] Senior Year Course Load: AP English, Health/PE (required), AP Calculus (AB, school doesn’t offer BC), Band, AP Biology, Honors US History (Independent study through the University of Connecticut), Honors History 12, Spanish 5, Civics (required)

[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): 4 years Founder/administrator of a creative writing website, 3 years National Novel Writing Month winner, 3 years UVA Young Writers Workshop, 4 years band (section leader, Tri-M Secretary, made all-conference and all-region bands all 4 years), 4 years club ice hockey (I played for 10 years) (top scorer, ranked 2nd in state, 3rd in New England), 4 years varsity field hockey (rookie award, captain, MVP, top scorer, made conference all-star team), 3 years varsity alpine ski team (captain, conference champions), 2 years newspaper (editor)
