[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The daughter of a friend asked me for college advice. She is a really wonderful young lady, just so kind and hardworking, and I'd love to be as helpful as possible. DCUM, will you help me help her? :)

[u]Stats:[/u]
[b]GPA: [/b]UW 95.5 / W 101.3  HS known to be pretty good locally
[b]SATs:[/b] She and everyone in her family had covid at different points and the test didn't happen. Trying again soon.
[b]Curriculum:[/b] Hardest at school, 11 APs total with Sr year (several 5's but not all. does this matter?) and the rest Honors
[b]Extracurriculars:[/b] leadership position in organizations inside and outside school related to mental health, has done some cool things with this but no national awards or anything
[b]Essay:[/b] she's thinking about discussing her passion for mental health, her father's PTSD from being a 9/11 first responder. He never went to college and it's important to him that she goes, and I suggested mentioning this.

She really liked Clemson and wants to try for their Honors program. Also likes Boston College but the net price calculator made it seem cost prohibitive. She loved UNC but knows how hard it is to get in out of state. She is particularly looking for more matches and reaches. (She seems to have enough in-state, public likelys on her list.) I suggested Davidson and she looked into it a little and said, wow it's hard to get into but looks amazing. She's just a really nice person whose parents don't have a ton of knowledge in this area. Great head on her shoulders. Realistic about money and her chances, but also is realizing she wants to try for some 'name' schools, too.

Please be kind! She's not a kid that can afford help on this and I'd really love to be able to be useful to her. Thank you!![/quote]

What is the budget. Is it $60k/yr? $30k/yr? $15/yr or less? (Yes there are options in all of those ranges)
