What are some preppy American colleges (particularly in the northeast) that aren’t for the BEST BEST students (ie Ivies or equivalents)?
I have a 4.0 uw/4.4 weighted, decent extracurriculars (I’m not curing cancer XD, but I am in a government funded program tho and have been volunteering all four years), but SATs only in the mid 1300s. |

What you are thinking of as preppy is not the definition of today’s kids. They mean beautiful, mostly suburban UMC kids that lean conservative and are not artsy. |

Maybe in past decades, now UVA is seen as not PC enough, even for preppies. |

These are all well known and have VERY LOW acceptance rates, so they are not what the student said they wanted to look at. / |
