<p>Hi Hilldweller and moviepopcorn, Again, great advice. This is great advice regarding the HS coach, “the high school coach can be a terrific asset, but your son needs to keep him in the loop and often specifically ask him to call/advocate a college coach on your son’s behalf.” and yes, we plan to target one school for early admission and probably another for early decision2–then early actions too if possible. Then the regular admission list if needed. </p>
<p>“As a mom, I think you should just push him to be the best that he can be so that he won’t have any regrets.” Thanks for this affirmation. He came home yesterday after a meeting and did admit that it was good to be prepared and not go in cold. </p>
<p>I was similar to you moviepopcorn and do feel I could have been pushed a bit more at this age, but since that time I’ve pushed a lot and found ways to identify opportunities which has served me well. I wish you the best.</p>
