Strategy when grades are lower relative to test scores

One of my sons had that profile and is diagnosed with ADHD. He wrote about it in the context of his summer job on a farm. Because we didn’t know how he would do with admissions he applied to 4 reach, 2 match and 4 safety schools. I would advise this approach, as it’s harder to predict with these kids.

He ended up getting in everywhere but 2 of the reaches. He’s thriving in college, probably because there are fewer small assignments, which he had a harder time managing in high school. I wish the same outcome for your son.
