Bucking the US College System

Our son Jack is graduating high school this summer. He’s a smart kid. He got a 1430 on the SATs, putting him in the top 97th percentile, but due to Covid interruptions, he doesn’t have top grades and few extra curriculars. He does have a proven knack for technology, and coming from dad, who is a 13 year Google veteran, that’s high endorsement.
