<p>My son is going to apply college for fall 2009. I did not attend or apply college in US, so please help me on advice or suggestion.</p>

<p>He has very good academic record but weak in the extra activities (especially in sport), so what is his chance for the those schools (Harvard, Yale, MIT, UPenn, Standford, UIUC, Northwestern, U of Chicago) and major in Business related area (eventually go for Law)? </p>

<p>Race: Asian
SAT: R: 800, M:800, W:770
ACT:35 English:36, Math:36, Reading:34 Science:35 Writing:11
SAT Subject Test: Math II: 800, US History:800, Physics:800
GPA: UW: 4.0
Rank: 1/650
Course: total 12 AP courses and all courses are a or A+, 6 AP test so far has score of 5-5 and 1-4.</p>

<p>Activities:
Math Team - 4 years
Scholastic Bowl - 4 years (captain)
Debate team - 2 years
Student Council - 1 year
Community Services - Math Tutor
National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalist

<p>Will I waste the application fee for applying those schools because he does not have a long list of activities and awards like others?</p>

<p>I appreciate your time and advice.</p>

<p>He’s got stats, but he’s a little bit too generic. </p>

<p>If he had done something exciting like breakdancing since he was little, then that could have been a hook. </p>

<p>I think in for Northwestern though.</p>
