Seems that we need to think about Delaware and UMass

I appreciate the feedback. For context DS has unmedicated (his choice) ADHD and no test accommodations (his choice). His standardized test scores are inconsistent. He's extremely bright.

Don’t even bother with UNC, the OOS acceptance rate is 9%.

Maybe NC State instead?

If he’s open to considering a smaller (but not small) school, I encourage you to consider Unicersity of Rochester. Terrific school with engaged professors who are open to providing research opportunities to the undergrads. It’s expensive (seek merits) but will likely provide more nurturing and support than a large state school.

This hasn’t been answered. The whole transcript is being evaluated- not just sr year and 2 jr year classes.

UMiami is a private school FYI and has a very different vibe from big publics.
