Also a top varsity athlete for multiple seasons of sports. (Not recruited for D1)

She should focus on adding another non-sport extracurricular or volunteer project over the next two years, will matter more than another AP class. Sports alone, for non recruits, doesn’t go that far.

What schools can she very easily get into exactly as she is? I think we will go with those and forget top anything and go very low and easy bc it seems too complicated and competitive. Any suggestions of not extremely expensive nice schools appreciated.

What does she want in a college besides ranking? Big, small, rural, urban, SLAC, National U, extroverted and outgoing, quieter kid, what ECs, Greek scene, D1 athletics? And will she be full pay at even 100k schools, or is there a budget? And even if she doesn’t know a major, does she have ideas? Her AP selection doesn’t scream STEM. Social sciences? humanities? Business? There’s a lot to consider besides grades, SATs and APs.

Prefers large, not rural, not STEM, not Greek, definitely good athletics, possibly sociology, criminology but that is only something she mentioned. She is an introvert but fits in well with people generally. Up to 50k.

Penn State? Rural but the college town is busy enough.
