I'll just ask him how badly he wants it.

I am curious as to why would you ask that question at this point? I really am curious. Please appreciate I am asking this from afar and without a lot of information.
In our house, and with many of our son's friends who were seeking admission to Ivy and top academic schools,how badly it was wanted seemed pretty apparent. It was apparent by what they said, what they talked about, by the effort in school, the results in grades, the way they competed on the field, the efforts they put in for strength and conditioning, etc.
Also it seems to me, from a very long distance away, that asking the question only increases the pressure.
