Why do posters think this student particularly has a chance at any of these schools? It feels like other threads are all piling on, saying "no chance" even to kids with stellar stats. I have one of these students in my house and we are playing it very, very safe with applications. I wouldn't presume any of these schools are possible without a very spiky talent or hook. Maybe I've been reading too many DCUM College threads!
I haven’t read everything here but don’t give up hope. My kids attend the schools mentioned here and they were, aside being good students, did not have national-level accomplishments. They did have perfect graces however. Craft a coherent narrative, consistently sell the heck out of it across all the essays and hope it resonates. Good luck.
