<p>Volunteer:
40 hours in Hospital,
This summer He is planning to organize a summer camp (free swimming lesson for kids) 160nhr planned</p>
<p>He looks like a solid candidate.</p>
<p>He definitely has a fair shot, but he’s definitely not a shoo-in. Does he have any leadership roles? That would definitely help (not significantly, but some). Also, it may just be the phrasing of your post, but you seem really stressed about the whole situation. As a parent, I really don’t think there’s much you can do at this point to change his chances one way or the other. Just hope for the best, and good luck :)</p>
<p>If he applies to every Ivy, he has a better than 1 in 4 chance of getting in to one of them. Those are decent odds. Go for it. The Asian factor always depresses the odds a bit.</p>
<p>Personally, as a teen that just went through the admissions cycle, I really don’t like it when parents post “CHANCE ME” threads. It seems like you’re obsessing about his admissions/are way too involved in your son’s life. I know parents can be worried, but it’s time to let it go – he’ll apply to places he WANTS to go (and if that is the ivies, that’s fine) and get in where he will depending on his four years of achievements. There’s nothing you can really do about his chances and you really shouldn’t worry to the point of posting CHANCE ME threads as a parent. (does your son know that you posted a chance me thread here? Does he approve?)</p>
<p>btw, I had similar stats (debate captain, volleyball, spanish honor society, orchestra, female asian with 2310 SAT) and got in, if that helps any. Just encourage him to write a good essay – an essay with a strong individual voice.</p>
