If your DS can max out the CFA I totally recommend getting it out of the way. I kept trying to get my DS to get it done early. For one reason or another it became one of the last things he did. The day before he was scheduled to do it, he rolled his ankle in a track meet. Fortunately, he was...

There is a test prep school in NJ called Y2 Academy. Also worth noting the son of the owner is at USAFA - seemed like a good fit for DS. DS is a great student and had a strong GPA and all the AP courses, just struggled on standardized tests. At Y2 he did multiple practice tests. This is the...

Thank you, everyone for your replies. Hoping to get him in for the procedure in the next two weeks. He may end up eating Easter dinner via straw. :)

Test scores are only a part of the picture. We were really concerned b/c my son's scores were ACT E/26 M/27 R/31 SR/26 and his SAT were 1280. He had EVERYTHING else; GPA 4.06, tons of service, multi Varsity sports, team captain, student council president,CAP, Boys State, strong CFA and...
