ED at Middlebury - rejected. 1470, 4.0 from well known public NYC magnet in the arts. ECs all music, groups, bands etc.
Options as we see it: ED2 to Tufts, maybe Emory. Would that be a waste. Or EA to U. Toronto or McGill. |
ED 2 tufts |
ED2 Wesleyan? |
Definitely ea to McGill and utoronto - no reason not to right? Does it forgo ED2
If throw an ED2 in but it’d be nice it were one that was a little easier re EDI at midd and tufts and Emory aren’t that |
Definitely apply to McGill if the scores are there. Fwiw I know a few Laguardia kids there and they love it. Toronto is a little less of a draw - great school and city but I understand it's very much a commuter campus.
1470 is not going to work for Emory or Tufts and you may be in for a repeat of the Middlebury rejection. Is the GPA high enough for a TO application? |
What about Wesleyan or bates? Similar idea to middlebury but slightly easier admit |
He hated Wesleyan
He likes rural outdoors UVM should work out I guess ? |
Uvm should work out - or bates or vassar or conn college where they need males. |
Only 37% of those enrolled at Tufts submitted scores. 1460 was the 25th percentile, so 1470 would be fine. Or TO is fine. For Emory, 41% submitted and the 25th percentile was 1450. And for Middlebury, the 25th percentile was 1420. As long as your kid is above the 25th percentile, submitting a score is fine. And going TO is fine as well. |
Check out Davidson |
If he likes rural outdoors, then Tufts/Emory aren’t good fits. Maybe Bates or Colby for ED2 and I would check out Kenyon for RD if he hasn’t already. |
W and L is a great choice for outdoorsy kids. |
I love McGill and like Toronto, but neither is remotely rural. For a Canadian option similar to Midd, check out Mt. Allison. Also Bishop's if his French is decent. |
Tufts has the wilderness campus in NH which a ton of students use. |
I’m surprised by middlebury. I’d check in with LOR writers. |
