[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought this gave many decent options.  Keep in mind that some of the majors at these schools are more selective than others, but it is good list to start the search.

The very first line of from the article... [b]"If you're a good student with less-than-stellar test scores or a so-so GPA, these are the schools for you."[/b][i] What does this mean? Other than test scores/GPA, [b]how is a good student defined?[/b] [/quote]

Are you serious? Who's a better student: the straight A kid with lame ECs who took no college level classes or the 3.4 unweighted who took more than the minimum required load of only college level classes, while also participating in competitive sports and playing an instrument?[/quote]

What does that have to do with anything written above?[/quote]

It answers the PP's question with a question pointing out that PP has a very narrow and likely incorrect view of what makes a good student. Test scores and GPA are part of a picture but don't always tell the story you think they tell.[/quote]

But they are darn good predictors of where your kid will wind up.[/quote]

There is no "good predictor" that shows A students do better than B students in the long run. [/quote]
