The average SAT at Vassar is 1460

Vassar's 50th percentile range for class of 2024 was 1380-1490.

Match his SAT to a school’s 50th or 75th percentile. Denison, Miami of Ohio, and Bucknell work. URichmond might also work.

Add temple, Miami OH, vcu
Make Pitt and Penn state a reach.
Just thinking of local-ish popular schools. 1300 is a respectable score. Good luck!

My kid had far worse stats from a DMV private and did very well. Get a copy of Colleges That Change Lives.

Definitely check out St. Mary's College of MD.

I hear West Virginia University is great for outdoorsy type kids, and you mention green spaces. Will likely get merit from them too with that sat score.

At some schools, being a male applicant can be helpful. I wound look at a few of those schools. Traditionally, that includes places like Vassar, Holy Cross, Kenyon, Skidmore

St. Mary’s is a great place to look. These stats will not work at Colgate, Vassar, Holy Cross, or Kenyon.

I wouldn't be so sure about Holy Cross. Their most recent SAT midrange was 1240-1420. So, certainly some people are getting in with scores of 1300 and below. As for GPA, they don't report it on their CDS, but only 43% of the most recent class was in the top 10% of their high school class, at least among the small number who submitted class rank. That indicates you don't need perfect grades, either.

This is old but it might explain it better than I can. Certainly look at the most recent admissions on ipeds- you can see what percentage of women were accepted vs men - but the schools I listed are traditionally easier for males than females.
