For example, he wants to go somewhere small, with excellent writing programs, where not too much math and science are required to graduate, etc.

He is an excellent writer who does pretty well in school but takes the easiest math/science classes available to him. He is not looking to go to UVA or Harvard or Stanford - but I know there are some great schools out there that would be a great fit for him -- I just need to figure out how to find them!

Thank you!!


Why not UVA? Great creative writing program.

I love Naviance, and I'm still new in it (I have a junior). I could spend all day in the Scattergrams...

I really liked the search engine on College Board's Big Future.

Be aware that peers will factor in big time. They all want to go to the same schools.
