No offense, but that may in large capacity be because you're on par with 95% of the other vanilla "stellar" applicants to those schools.
TS may have a very "interesting" story as a high school drop out (as far as admissions boards are concerned), believe it or not. A good approach would be to go to a state school for undergrad and do extremely well, academically and otherwise. TS may need to start at a community college for the first 15 or 30 credits. Then apply to a graduate program at a top choice school, or attempt to transfer after 2 years at undergrad. However, if I were TS, I would consider dropping the dorm job plan and focus relying on grants, scholarships and loans for pay for undergrad.
I was in a similar position to TS and that's what I did.
