He's currently studying for the ACTs. His last practice math test was only 3 wrong for a 34. Reading was in the 32 range, and English was lower (he really needs to work on his comma usage - and, as his dad and the author of a good blog post on comma usage, he should be able to get that up. GPA sits at 4.38 weighted and 3.71 unweighted. Looking at straight A's this semester which should boost the GPA to 4.68/3.81 (all honors and AP).

My two cents.....If (this is a big if..) your son is ready for ACT/SAT as a sophomore then I would consider taking it soon. This could be a leg up in the recruiting process and give your son an edge when talking to D1 HA schools such as Ivys and possibly Northwestern. Ive known a few recruits that have done this with Ivys, and it put them in a great position assuming he has the baseball skills and academic rigor to go with it. Give it some thought.....

Good luck!
