My son is in the top 5% of a highly competitive high school. He has a 4.7 GPA and a 34 on his ACT. However, his extracurricular activities are only average (Key Club, multiple Honor societies, volunteering in nursing home, etc) with no leadership roles. He wants to apply early decision to a college and Brown is his dream school. However, he doesn't want to waste his early decision on a school if there is little chance he will be accepted. Would it be better if he used his early decision on his second choice school, which is excellent but less competitive?
