To be clear, was not lol at St. Olaf, it's a good school, just thought it was so random for a small school in the rural farm area of Minnesota to pop up on this board. It's known around here, just didn't realize it's making headway in the DMV. That's cool.

-male
-public high school with IB program (will be IB diploma candidate)
-high-rigor course load
-A-/B+ grades (bright but a little disorganized)
-predicted best SAT score around 1350
-needs significant merit aid (can't afford full tuition but not eligible for much/any need-based aid)
-interested in biological/environmental sciences, not sure exactly what major
-wants low-key environment, not interested in "rah-rah" vibe or joining a frat
-doesn't want a super competitive atmosphere but does want to feel appropriately challenged academically

He has a couple of decent public options but would like to explore private colleges as well.

Thanks!
