3.9 GPA with 1400 or TO - where to apply?

[Anonymous]

At fairly rigorous/prestigious private school but the SAT isn’t working out. Any suggestions? What schools realistically accept TO kids for RD?

Apply early. That’s a requirement.
Vanderbilt; WashU; UChicago

My kid got into one of these from private HS. Similar gpa.

Those are TO schools. Don’t submit that score.

You're not giving a lot of context to help with suggestions. Do they want a big school? Small? Location? Specific majors?

Right now thinking Chicago ED1. This was always one of dc’s top choices.

Also likes Penn, Michigan and Georgetown. Obviously very unlikely now.

Visit WashU this summer and again in the fall for ED2. I know a lot who have success TO in ED2 as well from privates nationwide. But you must show regular interest (not a one-time visit).

Depends on your HS and your major.
At our private, this is very likely.

I'd skip Penn and Georgetown bc of test scores. What is the major?

SAT score breakdown of math versus English.

Classical studies

Will definitely visit Wash U for ED2 possibility. DC had a prospective student zoom call w a current student and really liked it.

Any interest in LACs? Intended major?

Great major. Assume ECs and awards match major?
WashU has something in the fall where you do a fly-in and sit on a class. I'd definitely do that too - even if applying ED2. Be prepared for the UChicago deferral.
