[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do straight A students go these days?  My Senior has straight As and I don't think his list is much different than his friends that have some Bs.[/quote]

This is the challenge. The straight-A students are still a big reach for the higher ranked schools and/or can't afford them so their lists will not be that different.

DD was an A/B average and wanted to go to a LAC. Our budget would only go up to about a W&M price. She applied there + a range of LACs. If she'd been an all-As student it likely would have been the same list but with W&M as a much more solid option (she was waitlisted). Going up higher in rankings gets you more selective LACs but at an out-of-budget price. I think the only ones that might have added are places like Grinnell, Carleton that give some merit but she really didn't want midwest so then we're back to the same list we had.[/quote]

This is our kid. What LACs did she end up getting merit money from if you don't mind?[/quote]

Got merit to fit our budget at SMCM, UMW, Allegheny, Washington College, Juniata, Susquehanna. Accepted but not enough merit at Dickinson.[/quote]

Great schools, thank you![/quote]
