[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm hoping to get some advice from those of you who just went through the application cycle.  My kid is a rising junior, so I know this is early but I think over the next year I need to set expectations for what's realistic and start directing him to look at possible schools.  I'd love advice about possible schools to look at -- I think any region, any type of school (big, small) would work.  Not hugely into basketball or football or the big party scene, so I'd say none of that is a draw, but also wouldn't bother him.
White male, MCPS.  SAT between 1500 and 1550, GPA between 3.5/3.6UW, 4.4/4.5W, all Honors and APs with 10 APs through Junior year including Physics, Chem, Calc BC, Java.  Extracurriculars are pretty ordinary -- has stuff he does, but no national awards or anything exciting. 
What might  be some safeties, targets, reaches?  [/quote]

I am reading your post and am annoyed and cannot tell if you are trolling. This profile is excellent and stop with the humble brag. Your kid is motivated and will let you know.[/quote]
