My DS has similar stats and hasn't heard a word (SAT 1560 out of 1600 and similar ECs, etc.). With those stats, I am amazed that you folks don't have scholarships. There must be something else at play here other than stats. Did your DS happen to select pricey, "tier 1" schools as college choices? Mine did.
Yes, but also some that were well within reach -- I know, I am an alumnus of one of them, and he is a FAR better student than I ever was. Of course, NROTC requires the applicant to select a state school in the top three, so he did that as well. He does plan to be a Tier 3 major (as was I, and most of my classmates -- we used to refer to the engineers as "pre-business" because so many either switched or flunked out), so I suspect that if anyone has even looked at his record, that may be what is preventing his selection.
