SLACs for my DS?

| DS is interested in SLACs but DW and I don't know much about them. What would some match schools be for a kid with a 1380 SAT and a 3.93 uw GPA? Doesn't have any specific criteria now other than small and liberal-artsy. |

| You should start visiting them. Does he want an open curriculum? |

He would need to apply test optional to some of these |

| I would look at Wesleyan, Union college and Colby college. |

He's in the 25th-75th percentile for all of these based on USNews. Rhodes: 1220-1400. Colgate: 1300-1470. Whether or not he applies test optional would be his choice. |

Specifically the last three. A few more good matches: Sewanee, Denison, Furman. |

| Lots of great liberal arts colleges. What was his gpa and what are his interests? Is he artsy or does he do sports? Some lacs admit a lot of student athletes; at others, it’s not a big deal. |

Spelling grade: 2/5 (F) But all great choices. |

Lewis & Clark
Reed Union in NY Dickinson Franklin & Marshall Gettysburg Colgate is a bit of a reach but might be worth consideration |

Just be prepared for a super woke left wing SJW culture if you pick either of the first two. |

He's not getting into Colgate with that SAT.
What kind of HS is he coming from - private or public? What's he interested in studying? Any geographic preferences? Have you toured any colleges? |

The 25% for Colgate is 650 Verbal, 650 Math
Depending on the kid, he has a chance, but it’s not a likely. |
