Anxiously awaiting to hear about my son:

Attended Interlochen Arts Camp 6 years
Main EC: Piano, Competitive Chess Player (since grade 3), LAX Varsity Letterman (3 years), Volunteer on overseas medical missions for 4 years
Honors: NHS, Chosen for Economics For Leaders (UT,Ausin), HOBY Leasership, AP Diploma With Distinction
ACT: Composite 32 (Best M 35, Sci 35, reading, 34, Eng- 33)

Will graduate with 9 AP classes, HS is public, but ranked #1 in our state.

Thoughts?

Good luck, everyone!

It has gotten harder each generation. Twenty years ago he’d get in easily. Hopefully he’s not under too much pressure, either to get in or to attend just because it’s what others want. Hopefully he’ll enjoy the rest of senior year

Those are the first thoughts that come to mind

Now…i think he has a solid chance due to wide variety of ECs, some which look quite impressive.

You likely need a rather long wait for the final outcome. Around 85% EA applicants got deferred last year. Good luck to your son.

The legacy definitely helps a lot too.

Congrats! Now he needs to investigate those residential programs.
