[quote=Anonymous]Middle of the pack (about 50%) TJ junior. 1520 SATs beginning of junior year.  Will likely take on more time to see if 730 V goes up.  Solid ECs but not national champ anything.

Wants a SLAC or small university, but needs about 20k a year of merit aid to make private work. Small classes and research opportunities are important. Wants non-Greek/ low frat participation.  Nerdy feel. Would prefer to be driving distance from home.  Looking at the physical sciences, going on for a PhD.

So far, has visited/ done info sessions for, and will likely apply to:

Davidson (low reach and he is not crazy about the “feel”)

Solid Matches (75% SATs/ GPA in range.  Naviance  is all green on instate schools)
WM 
VA Tech Science ( yeah— large.  But we can afford it without aid)
Oberlin
Kenyon

Safety:
Wooster
GMU or VCU

He liked all three of the Ohio SLACs on the list. Is passing on Denison based on “feel”.

We are going to look at Macalaster and St. Olaf’s this spring.  These should both be matches.  Will visit Grinnell at some point.  It’s a reach, but not impossible.   Not driveable, but great programs in area of interest.

So where do we head for spring break?  We are looking at NY/PA.  Skidmore? Union? U of Rochester? Dickinson?  Others?  You read about doing the Ohio tour, which we did.  But not so much about the Pa/NY schools? Has anyone done a series of visits of similar NY/ PA schools? Recommended route?[/quote]
